A two year, $250,000 grant given to the Hawaii Medical Service Association (HMSA) Foundation will be aimed toward the nursing shortage in the state.
The grant, part of a five-year, $10 million program involving 10 foundations and nine states, is supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Northwest Health Foundation. The initiative is called "Partners Investing in Nursing's Future."
In Hawaii, the focus will initially be on training new and seasoned nurses in long-term care, as that is the area affected most by the growing shortage. Recruitment and retention of nurses in geriatric care also will be highlighted. More than 2,500 nurses, it is estimated, will be needed to fill the void within the next 15 years.
