KSHE Update

 

I want to start off this monthly newsletter with some words of encouragement. Most of you reading this are highly skilled, extremely talented, dedicated facility leaders and care givers. You put aside the stresses you live with at home and come to work every day to fight the battles that assure that our patients and staff have a safe, healthy environment in which to heal and perform healing. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! You and your teams are appreciated.

The Lane Report
Healthcare facilities in Kentucky have responded to the challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of capacity needs and other considerations.

 

We hope you are staying safe and appreciate the hard work every one of our members is putting forth to ensure public health and safety during this challenging time. Due to the far-reaching impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had in our communities, the KSHE Board of Directors has made the decision to transition the in person 2020 Healthcare Coalition Conference (HCC) to a virtual live conference experience.

 

Hello from the Membership Desk. I know that there has been a lot of stress within our profession due to the COVID-19 virus. I pray that all is well with you, your families and coworkers.

The Board has been hard at work developing plans for our future, and I would like to extend my gratitude to them for the leadership provided during these unprecedented times.

Christopher Buford and I are working to get a new focus on our membership program. I would like to remind you of our 2020 Goals.
