Wayne State is mentioned in a letter to the editor by Larry Lawhorne, M.D., director of the Geriatric Education Center of Michigan. He points out that the center he directs is located at Michigan State University but also draws strength from members of its consortium, including the WSU Institute of Gerontology, three other universities, the Michigan Primary Care Association and the Michigan Dementia Coalition. The consortium provides multidisciplinary training for physicians, nurses, social workers rehabilitation therapists and other health care professionals. Lawhorne urges Congress not to reduce or eliminate funding of the 50 geriatric education centers across the country.
