PORT ANGELES — Jae McGinley has been selected for the Next Generation Leader Fellowship sponsored by the American Hospital Association.
McGinley, a registered nurse who manages Olympic Medical Center’s trauma program, has been awarded the John A. Hartford Age Friendly Systems Cohort Scholarship.
“This fellowship is an incredible opportunity to bring OMC’s work to the national level and collaborate with healthcare leaders from various disciplines across the country,” McGinley said. “I am fortunate to have been awarded the John A. Hartford Age Friendly Systems Cohort Scholarship. While my focus is on elevating age-friendly care in our organization, other patient populations will undoubtedly benefit from this work as well.”
