摘要
The rapid growth in the older population of the United States and the related increasing needs for services and healthcare providers reveal a crisis confronting U.S. society and the profession of social work. This article highlights the strategic investments of the John A. Hartford Foundation and its geriatric social work education initiatives to address the crisis. The transformative impact of the foundation is seen in the capacity of the social work profession to sustain the initiatives.
