The mission of Nebraska Health Care Foundation is to invest in programs and initiatives designed to attract, develop, and retain Nebraskans who serve those living in a nursing home or assisted living community. Our fundraising efforts help create a healthy ecosystem of care and employment that provides citizens with opportunities to have a fulfilling life. Nebraska Health Care Foundation was established as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, charitable organization by Nebraska Health Care Association in 1987. The foundation’s work includes:
- Offering educational scholarships to individuals seeking to launch or advance a career in healthcare;
- Funding the development of a statewide online medication aide training course;
- Developing healthcare-themed curriculum for use in grades 3-12 afterschool programs and summer camps across Nebraska;
- Providing equipment and resources (e.g., manikins, intravenous therapy training supplies, and manuals) used in training direct care workers;
- Translating a basic nursing assistant training manual and workbook to Spanish; and
- Administering a year-long leadership development program to grow Nebraska’s long-term care workforce.
