As a senior associate editor of JAMDA, Robyn Stone will work with Editors-in-Chief Dr. Philip Sloane and Dr. Sheryl Zimmerman, and two other senior associate editors, to chart the future of the journal.
Dr. Robyn Stone has been named a senior associate editor of JAMDA: The Journal of Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine.
Stone, who is co-director of the LeadingAge LTSS Center @UMass Boston, and senior vice president of research at LeadingAge, also joined the editorial board of the Journal of Elder Policy.
“I’m looking forward to both of these opportunities, which promise to give me an inside view of the latest research in our field,” says Stone. “What’s even more exciting, though, is the opportunity to help both journals serve as vehicles for getting applied, usable research into the hands of practitioners in the field, including LeadingAge members looking for evidence-based practices that can improve quality of care and quality of life for older adults.”
