Eldercare Workforce Alliance Launches New Blog
The Eldercare Workforce Alliance (EWA) has launch its new blog. Thanks to initial support and continued backing from the John A. Hartford Foundation, the new EWA blog will bring together members of our coalition, professionals, workers in the field, and experts in aging to raise awareness about these critical topics and provide practical solutions for moving forward.
The Eldercare Workforce Alliance (EWA) is excited to announce the launch of a new feature – the EWA Blog!
As a coalition of 31 national organizations joined together to address the immediate and future workforce crisis in caring for an aging America, this blog will serve as a platform for sharing the workforce perspective on critical issues happening in Washington DC and around the country.
Currently, a combination of demographic forces is causing an aging of American society. However, the current health care workforce is not large enough to meet older patients’ needs and the scarcity of workers specializing in the care of older adults – the eldercare workforce – is even more pronounced. It is estimated that by 2030, 3.5 million additional health care professionals and direct-care workers will be needed to adequately care for our older loved ones.
Thanks to initial support and continued backing from the John A. Hartford Foundation, the new EWA blog will bring together members of our coalition, professionals, workers in the field, and experts in aging to raise awareness about these critical topics and provide practical solutions for moving forward.
