Tonia says that her senior clientele really enjoy the interaction with the students as well.
Tonia works at University Hospitals in the Elderhealth Center and also provides care to long term care patients at McGregor. About her practice setting, Tonia states: "I work with a wonderful group of gerontological NPs and geriatricians who are very supportive in our many realms of practice within the geriatric population. They are truly committed to the population we serve. There is a great appreciation for continuing education, teaching, research and individual diversity in practice."
Tonia is a member of ANA, ONA, GCNA, NCGNP, GSA, OAAPN, and Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing. She takes an active role in these associations to keep abreast of clinical and professional issues.
On a personal note, Tonia and her husband celebrate the arrival of their first child this month. With this joyous life event, Tonia explains, "keeping a healthy balance between work and family/friends is essential above all else."
Congratulations, Tonia!

Molly provides an outstanding learning environment and shows a great dedication to teaching and sharing her expertise. Molly says she precepts because she “enjoys teaching students”. She also enjoys her practice because it is a small practice, consisting of mainly orthodox jewish families and she has an excellent working relationship with her collaborating physician, Rachel Garber.
