Mary T Fox

Mary Fox, RN, PhD, a Professor in the School of Nursing at York University

Professor Fox’s research responds to profound social and economic changes affecting healthcare today – from patients being discharged “quicker and sicker” to the growing shift of care into the community. Her work generates knowledge that strengthens care quality and supports patient functioning during illness and recovery. She also leads research on ageism education for health and social care students, producing evidence that helps prepare the future workforce to deliver age–inclusive, person–centred care to an increasingly older and diverse population.

A world-renowned expert in geriatric nursing.
