Toni Glover, PhD, GNP-BC, ACHPN

Biography: 

Dr. Glover is a researcher, an educator, and a geriatric nurse practitioner. Her early research focused on pain in older adults but a clinical rotation in hospice cemented her commitment to geriatric palliative care research. Dr. Glover has over 50 peer reviewed publications in journals such as the Western Journal of Nursing Research, Journal of Nursing Education, American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Medicine, the Clinical Journal of Pain, and Arthritis & Rheumatism. She is dedicated to sharing primary palliative care knowledge and skills with nursing students and received the OU Women & Philanthropy grant to enhance palliative care education in the undergraduate and graduate curricula at the School of Nursing. In 2020, she received the Nightingale Award from the School of Nursing and the Faculty Award in Research from Oakland University. Dr. Glover serves the community as the Ascension Providence Rochester Hospital (APRH) Endowed Professor, working with nursing leaders and practice partners to enhance opportunities for research and education. Dr. Glover is a member of the APRH Ethics Committee, the American Nurses Association, the Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association, and Sigma Theta Tau – the international honor society for nursing.
