Meet the Mentors

Exemplary mentorship is the cornerstone as well as the key to the BAGNC Award Program's success. We understand how much time, energy and thought is involved in good mentorship.

The BAGNC Mentors' invaluable work is helping to prepare the next generations of gerontological nursing leaders; provide a firm foundation for exciting academic careers; and contribute substantively to the knowledge base related to care for elders.
