The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Bureau of Health Professionals awarded a 5-year, $3,003,481 Project Grant to New York University (NYU) under the Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program (CFDA 93.969). The grant aims to improve healthcare outcomes for older adults by developing an integrated geriatrics and primary care workforce through interprofessional education, training, and collaborative care models.
As part of this initiative, NYU has issued a $256,001 sub-grant to The Jewish Association for Services for the Aged (JASA) to provide social work services and caregiver support at Federally Qualified Health Centers operated by Montefiore Health System in the Bronx. JASA will embed a social worker in the health center interdisciplinary teams, connect older adult patients to community resources, train staff on age-friendly care, and deliver caregiver education and support groups. This sub-award is intended to enhance integration of geriatrics and primary care in underserved communities.
