Healthy Employees Build Resilient Organizations
HERO is a program established by LECOM Health as a part of the Pennsylvania Department of Health LTC RISE Program (Long-Term Care Resiliency, Infrastructure Supports, and Empowerment). In addition to supporting the COVID-19 outbreak response in long-term care facilities (LTCF), HERO will enhance the quality of care and the ability to prevent and respond to disease outbreaks, including COVID-19 in Northwest Pennsylvania’s long-term care facilities by:
- Promoting professional development: increasing protective factors in resilience, wellness, and mental health; decreasing stress and risk of burnout among health professionals, and using the evidence-supported, rapid deployment of training, resources, and support to LTCF staff, teams, and leaders.
- Supporting the journey to become age-friendly health systems by aligning infection prevention and control and emergency preparedness efforts with best practices.
- Building a sustainable outbreak response operation using available resources in the community and region that can be activated when necessary to mitigate future infectious disease outbreaks.
- HERO Counties Served: Cameron, Clarion, Clearfield, Crawford, Elk, Erie, Forest, Jefferson, Lawrence, McKean, Mercer, Venango, and Warren
