Public-Private Partnerships at Work

Please join us, the National I&R Support Center will host a webinar on “Public-Private Partnerships at Work.” This webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, November 29, 2017, from 3:00-4:00p.m. Eastern time.

Learn the benefits of a private-public collaboration between an AAA/ADRC, local University and local Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). Senior Connection Center, the AAA serving Tampa, Florida, has worked in partnership with the University of South Florida and the local FQHC to facilitate older adults, people with disabilities, and caregivers to further access home and community-based support through the use of a Health Resource and Services Administration (HRSA) grant. The grant-funded program, known as the Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP), has also helped the AAA to educate new professionals in the medical field, exchange referrals with local community clinics, and gain further exposure among primary care physicians. This webinar reprises a session given at the 2017 AIRS conference. Presenters are Katie Parkinson and Zeke Barbosa of the Senior Connection Center, and Anna Wenders, University of South Florida.
