Weekly staff training is typical for the staff of Crown Center for Senior Living, an affordable housing development in University City. Staff is taught how to work effectively so that residents are safe and successful.
Recently, Crown Center staff was trained by a special instructor. LaDoris Payne, Crown Center resident, was among 45 community members who graduated from the Community Research Fellows Training program offered for the first time by the Washington University School of Medicine. Payne’s project was chosen for funding at the conclusion of the program.
“I’m thrilled to be a part of this program,” LaDoris Payne said. “Our work could provide much needed research for those reaching out across many disciplines to help others.”
