Center for Nursing Excellence in Long-Term Care

The Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI), launched the Center for Nursing Excellence in Long-Term CareTM this June to help meet the demand for health care providers — especially nurses — that has been created by the aging of the population worldwide.

The Center will provide frontline nurses with the education and knowledge base they need to care for the complex health needs of older adults who reside in skilled nursing facilities.

Working in collaboration with experts from the Hartford Centers of Geriatric Nursing Excellence, skilled nursing facilities, national providers, trade associations, and geriatric consumer groups, STTI announced that it will create products and services that will “help educate nurses and transform their role in the long-term care environment.”
