    For immediate release TERRY FULMER, PHD, RN, FAAN, TAKES THE HELM AS PRESIDENT OF THE JOHN A. HARTFORD FOUNDATION Nursing leader brings experience as researcher, innovator, and advocate to her new philanthropic role New York, NY (May 28, 2015) -- Terry Fulmer, PhD, RN, FAAN, has joined the John A. Hartford Foundation and taken up her role as its new president, the Foundation announced today. Dr. Fulmer brings experience as a nurse, researcher, teacher, administrator, and innovator to her new position, and is deeply committed to transforming the way health care is delivered to older Americans. She succeeds Corinne H. Rieder, EdD, who led the Foundation from 1997 until her retirement in 2015. “I believe that the John A. Hartford Foundation is uniquely positioned to play a leadership role in driving change that results in higher-quality, person-centered care at lower cost for the rapidly growing number of older adults and their families,” said Dr. Fulmer. “I look forward to the opportunities my new role offers to advocate passionately for the quality care that older Americans deserve, but too rarely receive.” Dr. Fulmer served most recently as a University Distinguished Professor and Dean of the Bouvé College of Health Sciences, and Professor of Public Policy and Urban Affairs in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities, at Northeastern University.
