Barbara Bowers, PhD, RN, FAAN is CARE's Founding Director and an Emerita Professor at the UW–Madison School of Nursing. Her work addresses how public policies, organizational practices, and models of care delivery influence quality of care for older adults and quality of work life for caregivers.
Following the tragic impact of the ongoing COVID pandemic on nursing home residents and staff, “I do think there is both more energy behind making changes and, possibly, a more receptive audience,” says Bowers.
