It was “Take Your Child to Work Day” at CARE Associates Network!
We were delighted to welcome Sophia Weidhorn to our Flemington office this week with her mom, Angela.
The goal of Take Your Child to Work Day is to inspire future generations by exposing them to a variety of professions and encouraging conversations about education, ambition, and life goals. Sophia was busy throughout the day learning about office skills such as copying, scanning, naming files, maintaining binders, using the postage meter, selecting office décor, and preparing promotional materials. In addition, she created a resume for herself to go
along with her official CARE business cards. It was a fun and educational day, and we enjoyed having her be a part of the CARE Team!

On September 16th, 20 nurses from Skilled Nursing Facilities across NJ started their week-long journey to obtain their Wound Care Certification. The course, sponsored by CARE Associates Network, is being led by Allen Zagoren, DO, MPA, FACOS, FACN, WCC, FAPWCA. Dr. Zagoren, a physician educator from the Wound Care Education Institute (a division of Relias), is a board-certified trauma surgeon specializing in chronic and acute wound management. Meadow Lakes, a Springpoint Senior Living CCRC, is graciously hosting the course in their auditorium in East Windsor, NJ.⁣

“CARE’s goal is to provide the resources necessary to have a wound-care specialist at each of our member facilities.” MaryAnne Scuderi, President and CEO of CARE Associates Network, implemented the new value-added service to enhance the high quality of care being provided by its member facilities.

“Chronic wounds impact 10.5 million people in the U.S. and 60,000 patients die from pressure injuries each year according to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Having qualified staff at each of our facilities will ensure positive patient outcomes and we expect to see an overall reduction in re-admissions to the hospital.”⁣
⁣
“We had a wonderful response from our network,” according to MaryAnne. “This inaugural class of RNs and LPNs represent many of CARE’s facilities across the state. We plan to offer other sessions to our member facilities in the coming months to give more nurses the opportunity to enhance their skills in wound care.”⁣

CARE Associates Network would like to thank the following providers for allowing their staff the opportunity to attend this class: 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞, 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞, 𝐃𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐈𝐬𝐫𝐚𝐞𝐥, 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐍𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐉𝐞𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐑𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡, 𝐒𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐫, 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞.⁣
