Oregon-based Partners In Care is developing a program aimed at increasing the well-being of its hospice and home health clinical workforce and minimizing the impacts of burnout.
The hospice and palliative care provider recently received a $50,000 grant from the Oregon Center for Nursing to support the program’s launch, which is dubbed Care for the Caregivers.
The program is two-fold in its purpose in terms of alleviating clinicians’ stress and fostering a team-building culture, according to Jodi Bigness, registered nurse and hospice nursing supervisor at Partners In Care.
