LeadingAge Ohio is proud to welcome guest speaker Alice Bonner, PhD, RN, FAAN, FAANP, to the upcoming June Activity Professionals Network meeting. A nationally recognized expert in nursing home quality and aging services, Dr. Bonner will share insights on strengthening resident councils and the impactful work of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI).
Resident councils are a vital tool for promoting autonomy, engagement, and dignity among nursing home residents. Strengthening these councils supports a culture of person-centered care, ensures resident voices are heard, and enhances overall quality of life in long-term care communities.
Dr. Bonner brings over three decades of experience as a nurse practitioner and a distinguished leadership career in both federal and state aging policy. She currently serves as Senior Advisor for Aging at IHI, Chair of the Moving Forward Nursing Home Quality Coalition, and Adjunct Faculty at Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing. Her extensive background includes leadership roles at CMS and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, with a research focus on community-based care, nursing workforce, and nursing home improvement.
Networks are free to LeadingAge Ohio members, but registration is required. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with a leader in the field and explore strategies to elevate the resident voice in your community.
