Abstract
As many researchers know, accessing your targeted population is imperative when doing personcentered research. After moving to a new area of the country and accepting a faculty position at a local university, my first priority was gaining access to local nursing homes for my recently funded research study. With this in mind, I called and scheduled introductory meet-and-greet meetings at several local nursing homes. These meetings led to the 2011 formation of the Geriatric Interest Group of Spokane or GIGS.
