The John A Hartford Foundation has funded the Geriatric Social Work Initiative (GSWI) for over 14 years. Recently a new National Center on Gerontological Social Work Excellence was established to help continue the work of GSWI. As part of this effort, five GSWI Centers of Excellence have been established to provide exemplary leadership in translating research into innovative practice that will improve healthcare for older people. This session introduces these five new academically-based Centers of Excellence and examines their specific plans for collaborating with community service partners to assess and address the training and knowledge needs of social work practitioners working with older clients and their families.
