IMPACTS & CHANGES THIS YEAR

2022 brought a number of unique challenges due to the slow recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and the extra strain that has placed on healthcare workers worldwide. But we’re happy to say that despite the pressures, our program thrived and grew.

ONWARD & UPWARD

Even though there has been a nationwide shortage of nurses, for the first time our teams in both Greenfield and Noblesville/Lebanon have been fully staffed. We appreciate the excellent, heart-led nurses and aides who joined our teams in 2022. This has enabled us to grow in the number of families we serve and increase our coverage in our service areas.

Telehealth Becomes A Reality

Because of the nationwide Public Health Emergency (PHE) declared by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, our nurses, social workers, and nurse practitioner can now make visits by phone connecting through audio calls or video chats. This enables our team to stay in touch with patients and families even more closely than before and adds flexibility to our team in terms of contact and scheduling. The PHE is set to expire on May 11, 2023, but we will be continuing our telehealth visits as a team due to the benefits they have added to our practice.

Volunteer Program On Pause

As part of the PHE in 2022, our volunteer program was on hold (although several key volunteers continued to support us in various ways, which we greatly appreciate!). We look forward to relaunching our volunteer program in 2023 and will begin with an orientation and training in May.
