Lately, if you have had even the briefest conversation with me, you know that all I seem to talk about is the healthcare workforce. Though health care workers are a hearty bunch – ready for action, unafraid of blood and guts – the pandemic exhausted even the bravest of souls. I probably should not be surprised, but I still feel a bit blindsided at the negative impact COVID had on the healthcare workforce.
Yet, Spring feels like a wonderful time to “Spring into Action”. This means new partnerships that we believe will help us rebuild and revitalize the healthcare workforce now and into the future. Here are a few organizations that we are partnering with to do this important work:
- Cross Purpose externship program for Medical Assistants
- AmeriCorps Colorado Healthcare Corps
- Arapahoe Community College Apprenticeships Program for Medical Assistants
- Grow Your Own in partnership with Colorado Community Health Network and National Institute for Medical Assistant Advancement
- Colorado Access for behavioral health providers
When times get tough, the best way to get through is by joining hands with others to build a stronger tomorrow. There has never been a better moment to come together in mission and community.
Sincerely,
|
Doctors Care thrives because of selfless volunteers like Dr. Pierce, who gave of his time, talent, and treasure for three years at Doctors Care before retiring as a provider.
John Rush Pierce Jr., MD, MPH has been in the medical field for over 40 years, and has worked in Tennessee, Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado. He holds a Bachelors Degree in Chemistry, and obtained his Medical Degree at the University Of California School of Medicine, and a Master’s Degree in Public Health at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Dr. Pierce joined Doctors Care’s group of volunteer providers in January 2019, and we have been so grateful for all his work and dedication to the organization and the patients we serve.
