She just completed K01 research funded by the National Institute of Aging, and is funded by the Florida Department of Health, and Washington State University. Dr. Wiese was selected to attend the first annual Alzheimer’s Association Interdisciplinary Summer Research Institute (2021) related to her work with rural, racially/ethnically diverse older adults. She is board-certified in Advanced Public Health Nursing and Gerontological Nursing, and was selected as a 2021 Hartford Distinguished Educator in Gerontological Nursing. Dr. Wiese serves on the state of Florida State Health Improvement Plan taskforce, and co-launched a new Rural Health Disparities workgroup of the Alzheimer’s Association Diversity/Disparities PIA of ISTAART. Her community-based participatory research is focused on empowering rural, older racially/ethnically diverse adults to age in place through dementia awareness/detection/management. The construct of determining “What Matters Most” to rural residents, based on Boykin and Schoenhofer’s “Nursing as Caring” framework, guides Dr. Wiese’s work.
