GWEP’s work is shaped and sustained by the organizations and communities it partners with across Hawaiʻi and the Pacific region
Across Hawaiʻi and the Pacific region, a network of over 30 partners supports efforts to strengthen the geriatrics workforce. Academic partners support workforce development through interprofessional education and training across disciplines, including collaborations within the University of Hawaiʻi system and with partner institutions in the Pacific region. Clinical partners play a key role in advancing Age-Friendly Health Systems (AFHS), supporting training and implementation across primary care, hospital systems, and long-term care settings, including Federally Qualified Health Centers and other providers working to improve care for older adults. These efforts extend to Long-Term Services and Support (LTSS) providers across the state, including nursing homes and family and foster care homes, helping sites work toward Age-Friendly Health Systems recognition through the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. Community partners contribute through outreach, caregiver education, and service coordination, connecting older adults and their families to essential resources. Statewide organizations and public health agencies further support these efforts by expanding access to training and services across communities.↓ Click on the map to view the interactive partner network ↓
