Direct Care Workforce to hold program

Direct Care Workforce is holding a solutions-focused discussion for employers of direct-care personnel such as certified nurse assistants, home health-care aides, patient care technicians, direct support professionals, hospice aides, adult day care workers and others.

The program will be from 9:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 1, at Southwestern Community College in Creston. There is no charge to attend, and a light continental breakfast, lunch and meeting materials will be provided.

Come share your challenges and ideas in building and maintaining the direct-care workforce of the future. Discussions will be on aligning the direct-care workforce with changing population and needs and competing in an environment where recruitment and retention of staff is difficult but essential for meeting the care and support Iowans need.
