Biographical
Sketch
Therese
Narzikul, a Gerontological Nurse Practitioner works
in the role of Project Manager for a clinical research
study; Enhancing Care Coordination. In 2004, she completed
Villanova University’s
Executive MBA program supported by The John A. Hartford
Foundation. Integrating gerontological experience with
business knowledge, Therese implemented systems methodology
to enhance operational performance and quality reproduction
in organizations providing older adult care and services.
She is a guest lecturer in N650-Health Systems Analysis
and currently serves on the Board of Directors for
the Wallingford-Chester Chapter of the American Red
Cross. Therese is committed to improving the coordination,
quality and cost-effectiveness of older adult care
and services, particularly those for frail vulnerable
older adults. Therese led the Geriatric Assessment
Team at the Medical College of Pennsylvania. Her focus
within geriatric nursing has also included promoting
the spirit of inquiry among undergraduate nursing students
during their clinical course in gerontology. As Visiting
Faculty in the Department of Nursing Studies at the University
of Hong Kong, Therese participated in providing consultation
on undergraduate clinical education. Education and experience
provide Therese with an understanding of the many organizational
and management challenges related to quality of life
for older adults.

"To
realize a dream is to accomplish things that were once unimaginable.
The accomplishment leads to the construction of a new dream,
a potential reality. Providing coordinated, cost-effective,
quality care and services for a rapidly aging society is
my dream.
Let’s make it a reality."
Therese Narzikul
