The UGEC was established in July, 2015 in collaboration with the Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA) and is funded by the Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP) initiative. The UGEC's purpose is to improve long term healthcare through the education of the workforce providing associated services. We are housed in the University of Utah College of Nursing (nursing.utah.edu). Read further about our program on the About Us page!
