HHS Announcement of HRSA Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program Awardees
The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), has announced the Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program awardees.
HRSA’s Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP) will train primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, and other health care clinicians to provide age-friendly and dementia-friendly care for older adults.
GWEP also focuses on providing families and other caregivers of older adults with the knowledge and skills to help them best support their loved ones.
More than $200 million has been awarded to support 42 programs across the country aimed at improving care for older Americans, including those experiencing Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
JAHF funds the American Geriatrics Society to host a GWEP Coordinating Center that serves as a strategic resource with educational programming and tailored support for GWEP sites.
