LeadingAge NY and New York Academy of Medicine Recruiting Nursing Homes for New Project ECHO Cohort

LeadingAge NY and the New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM) are launching a fourth Project ECHO cohort to provide additional nursing homes with access to expertise and a learning community on COVID-related issues, such as strategies to prevent transmission, support vaccinations, facilitate transitions in care, and combat social isolation. The 16-session training sequence is free and offers participating facilities a $6,000 stipend upon satisfactory participation by at least two staff members. Participation in this final NYAM/LeadingAge NY training initiative is limited to the first 35 nursing homes that sign up.

Each weekly session will include a 60-minute brief lecture or lesson paired with case presentations and discussion, followed by an optional 30-minute Q&A forum. To participate, you must enroll at least two staff members from your facility in the training, which is geared toward clinical staff including doctors, nurses, certified nursing assistants (CNAs), infection control personnel, and administrative officers (e.g., administrators, nurse leaders, medical directors).
