D’Youville College has received a three-year, $36,000 grant from the Community Health Foundation of Western and Central New York for programs to improve the quality of health care service for older adults in the area.

The Family Nurse Practitioner Program and the Physician Assistant Department at D’Youville will share the grant, which will fund fellowships for graduate students who are committed to working with older adults after completing their master’s degrees.

Students who receive the stipends are required to participate in research projects focusing on geriatric care.
