This semester’s topic asked participants to discuss the strategies long-term care facilities can implement to prevent COVID-19.
Numerous U.S.-based trade organizations, from the National Center for Assisted Living to the National Association for the Support of Long Term Care, and many others, provide valuable resources to guide successful operations in their industry. Long-term care facilities nationwide are beginning to rebound after the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic has ravaged their populations and operations. Describe what proactive strategies industry leaders should promote or enforce to prevent the spread of any potential future variants of COVID-19 or other endemic diseases.
Congratulations to the winners, and thanks to everyone who participated! Our next scholarship contest will be later this year in the fall.
