Webinar Overview
As has been
well-documented, the state's healthcare workforce has been at the front lines
of the COVID-19 pandemic. While much of the recent focus has been on the
tremendous efforts of providers and how they are taking care of patients, the
issue has also served to place a fresh spotlight on the ongoing workforce
shortage and the concerns of many as to what this mean for NH's future.
As we work together to provide care across the continuum, this webinar
will provide a perspective on the direct care workforce in the time of COVID-19
and some of the actions needed to address this vital issue. The Direct Care
Workforce Strategic Workgroup is pleased to offer this webinar, the first in a
series, which will examine and highlight the many issues impacting the direct
care workforce in our state.
In addition to a robust conversation with experienced voices in the field, this
webinar will also include clips of the documentary Call to Care NH. For
those interested, we invite you to view the full Documentary here prior to the webinar.
Who Should Attend this Webinar?
Everyone! This subject impacts and should
matter to all us – direct care workers, health care administrators, policy
makers, community leaders and you! Come learn, share, and engage in a conversation about the important healthcare
workforce issues of our day.
