In 2008, the John A. Hartford Foundation authorized $28,016,636 million for existing and new grants to improve the geriatric skills of current and future health professionals. Foundation grants currently support 108 programs that span the spectrum of academic and clinical training. These programs increase the nation's capacity and ability to serve older adults by engaging doctors, nurses, and social workers at all the stages of their formation and professional growth.
In order to maximize the Foundation's impact on the health and the well-being of the nation's elders, grants are made in two priority areas.
Academic Geriatrics and Training
The Foundation supports efforts in selected academic medical centers and other health settings to strengthen the geriatric training of America 's physicians, nurses and social workers.
Integrating and Improving Services
The Foundation supports a limited number of sustainable efforts to improve and integrate the system of services needed by elders and their effectiveness. The emphasis is on nationally replicable models.
