Page A11 Letter of Support From: "Michael F. Verderame, PhD" Subject: Adult Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Option in MS Degree program Date: September 7, 2011 5:21:48 PM EDT To: Judith Hupcey Hi Judy, I am pleased to support the School of Nursing's proposal to establish a new Option in their MS program for an Adult Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner. While this program will have no direct impact on other College of Medicine graduate programs, I know that it would help meet a significant staffing need, both at the Milton Hershey Medical Center and nationally.
