“How do we best care for those of us that need assistance? It takes a wide variety of social and health care expertise ranging from loving care from family and friends to the most sophisticated medical procedures. The Iowa CareGivers Association focuses on assuring that the health care workers who are certified to provide daily hands on care to those in need of help, are not only caring and compassionate, but have the necessary skills and education to care for increasingly complex health issues in an increasing variety of settings. We do this by bringing together all those involved in the education and certification processes along with the direct care workers themselves to work towards continual improvement of quality care and to advocate for whatever systemic changes are needed to bring this about ” |
