(May 16, 2025) – Registration is open for the June 9 Kansas Age-Friendly Nursing Workforce Forum. The forum, hosted by the University of Kansas Medical Center, the Kansas Nursing Workforce Center, Kansas 4M and Area Health Education Center, will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Monday, June 9, at the Washburn Tech Conference Center-West Campus. A virtual option will also be available. This learning event will join leaders and educators from nursing programs with directors and administrators from nursing homes and long-term care facilities across Kansas to explore and plan for integrating age-friendly didactic and clinical education with the care of older adults who reside in care facilities.
