Welcome to the OHSU National Hartford Center of Gerontological Nursing

 In order to meet the complex health care needs of a growing older adult population in Oregon and across the Pacific Northwest, we at the OHSU School of Nursing National Hartford Center of Gerontological Nursing Excellence have over a decade of accomplishments toward meeting the national goals put forth by the Hartford Foundation.

Congratulations to WIN Award winners

In 2001, Western Institute of Nursing (WIN) established the Regional Geriatric Nursing Research Award in partnership with the John A. Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing. The overall goal of the award is to foster and showcase geriatric nursing research. Dr. Corey Nagel has been selected to receive the 2013 Regional Geriatric Nursing Research Award as a new researcher.

In 2011, the John A. Hartford Center of Gerontological Nursing Excellence at OHSU School of Nursing established a Regional Geriatric Nursing Education Award within WIN. Please congratulate Dr. Glenise McKenzie who has been selected to receive the 2013 John A. Hartford Foundation – Western Institute of Nursing Regional Geriatric Nursing Education Award. 

During the two-year grant period (2011-2012) we:

• Recruited eight new students to our PhD program who are focused on gerontological nursing;
• Enhanced the gerontological nursing competency of ten faculty who teach in nursing programs at schools of nursing in Washington, Idaho, and Oregon; and 
•  Instituted a new award for excellence in gerontological nursing education at the Western Institute of Nursing conference.
