RVNA’s Barbara Newland elected to Geriatric Society Board
RVNA (Ridgefield Visiting Nurse Association) is pleased to announce that Barbara Newland, Director of Community Health & Wellness for RVNA, was elected on to the Board of Directors of the Connecticut Geriatrics Society at its annual meeting.
Founded in 1997, the Connecticut Geriatrics Society is affiliated with the American Geriatrics Society. Their mission is to improve the health, independence, and quality of life of all older people. The Connecticut Geriatrics Society meets in Fairfield County, hosting speakers of relevant topics in the field of geriatrics, and for professionals and organizations that serve the elderly population to share relevant issues. “It’s such an honor to work alongside the many committed, wonderful, and talented professionals that have extensive experience in the geriatric field,” said Newland. “By being associated with this group, it will only help me continue to grow as a professional, as well as allow me to work more closely with my peers who are dedicated to being advocates for our geriatric population.”
