The holder of the Gregg Chair will oversee research projects, community partnerships, and course delivery in the areas of adult and geriatric medicine. By combining resources with other UTC departments and a series of community partners, the UTC School of Nursing has the opportunity to contribute in the establishment of best practices in geriatric care.<\/p>\n<p>By 2020, projections call for the percentage of Tennesseans aged 60 and over to grow to 22.6 percent of the state\u2019s total population, and this aging population will place tremendous demands on healthcare providers. The American Geriatrics Society estimates a shortfall in healthcare professionals specifically trained to deal with the needs of older patients, with a particular need for registered and advanced practice nurses with geriatric training.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am so pleased that this chair is being named in honor of our dear friend Vicky Gregg,\u201d said Bill Gracey, President and CEO of BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee. \u201cShe has given so generously of her time and talents in support of the health and well-being of Tennesseans. We at BlueCross are delighted to see her recognized in this way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Chair will be filled by an advanced practice nurse with experience as an adult geriatric nurse practitioner and will mobilize groups to improve the health care of older adults through inter-professional teams, including representatives from such academic departments as nursing, nutrition, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and others. These teams will focus on curriculum development, research, and outcomes for best practices to improve the health of geriatric patients and identify cost-effective health care protocols.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10263\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2013\/12\/vicky-gregg-check.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"676\" data-attachment-id=\"10263\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2013\/12\/bluecross-establishes-vicky-b-gregg-chair-at-utc\/vicky-gregg-check\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2013\/12\/vicky-gregg-check.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1280,846\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4.9&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;DMC-GF3&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1386771047&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;29&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;800&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.016666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"vicky-gregg-check\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;from left, Vicky B.
