The John A. Hartford Center of Geriatric Nursing Excellence at Penn State
The Penn State Hartford Center of Geriatric Nursing Excellence (HCGNE) is one of only nine centers selected through a national grants competition by the John A. Hartford Foundation and its Building Academic Geriatric Nursing Capacity program (BAGNC) at the American Academy of Nursing.
The John A. Hartford Center of Geriatric Nursing Excellence at Penn State will address a nationwide shortage of nursing faculty by supporting the preparation of high-quality geriatric nursing faculty who can teach in areas of greatest need.
As an HCGNE, the The Penn State Hartford Center of Geriatric Nursing Excellence is proud to be part of the broader Hartford Geriatric Nursing Initiative (HGNI). Since 1995 through a $67 million investment from the Hartford Foundation, the HGNI and its component programs have been preparing professional nurses to play leadership roles in improving the health and health care of older adults.
