health emergency continues to put a strain on the health care ecosystem—from caring for the sick to coordinating vaccine distribution—health care workers across the continuum of care have shined But when a caregiver goes above and beyond it’s important to recognize their efforts in tangible ways There’s a nonprofit that can help with that—awarding cash to caregivers in recognition of their efforts.  was founded in 2013 by Matt and Rosemary Lawlor to recognize the efforts of caregivers D.C.-based organization partners with health care providers across the country having recognized 1,000 caregivers with monetary Ceca Awards.  Ceca’s caregiver recognition system allows for 360-degree recognition with nominations originating from clinical and nonclinical frontline workers management and ultimately anyone who walks through the doors of a Ceca partner facility You just need a mobile or desktop device to submit a nomination Every employee who is nominated for a Ceca Award is recognized on an online platform and the CecaTV network streaming in high-traffic areas of participating health care facilities “At a time when health care workers are facing extreme stress and burnout during their continued commitment to protecting patients from COVID-19 nonprofit program that health care communities can use to lift spirits while elevating the level of care and retaining employees,” said Nate Hamme Hamme sat down with HomeCare to discuss why employee recognitions matters I think one of the best ways to connect people to their work is to highlight for them the ways that they're making a difference We see the employees in our partner organizations tend to report more consistently that they feel good about the job they're doing We know that we're having an impact in this way It’s self-evident that the need for connection belonging and appreciation goes up with the level of isolation Recipients of care in both institutional and at-home settings consistently report high levels of feelings of isolation Yet we often forget how isolation can affect a caregiver’s judgement empathy and level of engagement with those they care for That’s particularly important for home caregivers who serve alone and with disabled or aging residents who often cannot easily communicate teamwork and culture when people are working independently in the field That simple gesture of recognition can mean a lot to a caregiver—whether from a family member or visiting friend or from a caregiver assuming the next shift Unlike some traditional programs based on tenure or professional competency we try to emphasize the little acts of compassion like learning a patient’s children’s names or helping them rediscover a favorite song or hobby or place they used to visit Our platform allows in-home health care workers who are reliant on technology to do their jobs the ability to see names and faces of others doing the same important work using a computer or smartphone and connection builds community and a sense of belonging One interesting thing that we've learned over the years of doing this perceived teamwork amongst staff members is a key corollary to patient satisfaction patients feel like they're getting better care and that helps them benefit in terms of getting better or leading a higher quality of life given the state of things in the health care field there's no better time to be doing this.  The past year has put a fine point on why this is important When you look at nursing homes—I know we're talking about homecare specifically—but at nursing homes and during the pandemic it increased exponentially So you're hiring for the same job over and over again you lose people with institutional expertise and you lose the comradery of people working together You also lose the feeling that your employer shares the same values you do You want to remove all of those distractions that you get when you're not working as a team We're very proud that our program gets widespread participation amongst staff members Everybody from the caregivers themselves to the managers to—in an institutional setting—food services environmental services—all with this idea that they see these people doing amazing work every day We try to track this stuff and provide our own metrics We take the promoter score and flip it on its head “How likely would you be to recommend this place for caregiving to a friend or family member?” We see those numbers go up by 20% amongst those who are being asked whether they recommend their organization as a place to receive care that they do a good job of fulfilling their mission We get a lot of great people looking at each other and being thankful for the opportunity to work together I think that's something that is impactful This includes not just the act of recognizing one another but we help organize and coordinate award celebrations for our partners One of the best ways to provide opportunities to talk about the mission and values of your care organization is to make it somewhat public You want the entire team to know that you're taking time out to say thank you for the work that's being done.  We really are looking to increase our impact and be able to give back more to improving the experience for patients and residents and that stays true to their mission and values includes a lot of information that may help people understand our mission better and what it takes to work with us We really would love to work with anybody who's ready and able to commit to it we always appreciate the support of donors Every cent that gets committed to us by somebody is earmarked specifically for cash awards that go to caregivers So I think that's something that people can feel really good about contributing to—these deserving nurses and certified nursing assistants and other health care workers who may be in support roles Those things are building us towards being able to do this for more and more organizations and communities across the country Legislation and Regulation Advertise Customer Service Share on FacebookShare on X (formerly Twitter)Share on PinterestShare on LinkedInCUSTER COUNTY, Colo. (KKTV/Gray News) - The search for a Colorado homicide suspect accused of killing three people is over The Custer County Sheriff’s Office said 45-year-old Hanme Clark was taken into custody by New Mexico State Police on Tuesday afternoon The arrest update came about 24 hours after the shooting was first reported Investigators say the incident began as a land dispute around 1 p.m A man identified by Custer County Sheriff Rich Smith as Clark allegedly shot the four people The deceased victims were identified as Rob Geers A fourth victim was taken to a hospital in Colorado Springs. She is expected to survive, according to the sheriff’s office The suspect left the rural crime scene before deputies arrived Officials said Clark and one of the victims were known to be involved in previous civil disputes over property lines “It’s not something we normally see,” the sheriff said including Colorado State Patrol and the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office Lucinda Brand (Baloise Trek Lions) won the X2O Badkamers Flandriencross in Hamme, soloing clear of the field shortly before the midpoint of the race. Brand came home 17 seconds clear of teammate Shirin van Anrooij, who outsprinted Denise Betsema (Pauwels Sauzen – Bingoal) for second place. Annemarie Worst (777) came home 4th at 24 seconds, while Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado  (Alpecin – Fenix), who had been part of the four-woman front group with Brand, Van Anrooij and Betsema in the early exchanges, took 5th at 1:02, just ahead of Manon Bakker (Iko – Crelan). Brand got off to a rapid start in Hamme, immediately stretching out the field, with Betsema the only rider to match her initial surge. After Brand picked up the first bonus sprint, the front group grew to include four riders, with Van Anrooij and Alvarado bridging across. Van Anrooij hit the front shortly afterwards and piled on the pressure in the opening laps, but Brand’s class began to tell on the third lap. The world champion hit the front and she opened a gap of 3 seconds over Betsema and 9 on Van Anrooij with three laps remaining. Alvarado, meanwhile, was out of the hunt, now trailing by 17 seconds in the company of Worst and Bakker. Brand continued to extend her advantage, going 10 seconds clear of Betsema with two laps remaining, with Van Anrooij a further 4 seconds down in third. By this point, it was clear that the suspense lay in the battle for second place, and so it proved, as Betsema and Van Anrooij engaged in a spirited duel. Brand took the bell with an unassailable lead and she safely negotiated the final lap to win by 17 seconds, while Van Anrooij had just enough in the tank to fend off Betsema and take second place. A week out from the World Championships, the defending champion Brand has underlined her status with a commanding victory. She also now leads the Soudal Ladies Trophy classification by 21 seconds from Betsma, while Worst lies third at 6:11.

spent decades building up the jazz scene in the Southern Tier no one would blame you if you decided to stop playing But Al Hamme knows he still has some good years left in him who helped build up the jazz program in the Endicott school district can still be seen playing a woodwind instrument at the Oakdale Mall the Lost Dog Café and the Schorr Family Firehouse Stage “Jazz is America’s indigenous art form; that’s why I put so much energy into bringing it to the Southern Tier over the years,” said Hamme Hamme taught at Union-Endicott High School for much of the 1960s while also teaching at Binghamton University and playing at clubs locally five nights a week there were five clubs that had house bands around here and I spent 15 years here playing five nights a week,” Hamme said Hamme said his father was not surprised when a 13-year-old Al asked if he could play a gig with a jazz band on New Year's Eve and they had arrangements and I was doing the best I could Hamme’s musical career in the Southern Tier has spanned decades and included a music-booking business touring around the world and creating a new generation of musicians in Binghamton Hamme remained at BU until retiring in 1997 and now a former student fills his old seat at the university and another former student is taking over his music-booking business at least while I’m still good,” Hamme said That includes organizing a multitude of musical happenings at Oakdale Mall for himself and other musicians “I have 80 musicians working for me at the mall but a lot of it is jazz-type or swing-type music A lot of people come to the mall to hear us play,” Hamme said though; it has given him the ability to raise and support three sons all of whom also can play but have moved on to other things meeting a bunch of great people," Hamme said I have seen almost every state in the U.S. But Hamme also said he is especially proud of the work he has done to bring not just good jazz music but also jazz appreciation to the Southern Tier “I wanted students to understand jazz and play it but I also had a jazz history course that got really popular; it got up to 200 students maybe when they end up in the right situation they then can advocate for it to help the growth of America's music in the Southern Tier,” Hamme said Hamme said he is already seeing the results because when he performs throughout the Southern Tier he notices audiences aren’t just the older generations “It seems to be the case that younger generations in the Southern Tier appreciate jazz as much as the older generations,” Hamme said While admitting that a lot of his effort in the beginning to bring jazz to the Southern Tier was selfish in nature because he just wanted to play himself the effort ended up growing into something more And after decades of building jazz programs at schools and helping and training younger musicians Hamme said he is confident that appreciation of jazz in the area will last beyond him “The jazz scene in the Southern Tier I helped create should last for some time," he said They have listened to newer music and are incorporating it which is perfect because jazz is an evolving art form." While Hamme said he has no plans on stopping playing — he even has a big band gig for next April already booked — he knows the end is in sight you get a little limited with your eyesight and then here comes carpel tunnel And when you feel when your playing is dissipating Hamme said he and his wife plan on traveling more and spending part of the year in Florida Binghamton will still have its Grandfather of Jazz playing tunes to soothe the soul and make you cry AL HAMMEAge: 77.Home: Vestal. Hometown: York, Pennsylvania.Education: Ithaca College for undergraduate studies, graduate school at Binghamton University, post-graduate work at Eastman School of Music.Family: Wife and three sons, seven grandchildren.Where to find him: alhamme.com Thank you for your interest in BizTimes.com Access to our website is currently restricted in your region as part of our regional access policy.

"It gets me emotional because it’s something that I can never repay her for." Hamme recognizes she's one of the lucky ones UW Health managed to perform 315 kidney transplants but there are about 1,000 people on the wait list clinical transplant coordinator for the transplant center's Living Kidney Donation Program.  That's just one hospital system. Across the country, Schaefer estimates about 100,000 people are waiting for kidneys. Data from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients suggests that most people waiting are between 50 and 64 years old (about 43.4%) and predominantly male (62.1%) White and Black people constitute nearly 70% of people waiting for a kidney in the U.S. with a nearly even split at 35.2% and 32.1% "There are so many people that suffer from kidney failure in our country and there's a lack of available organs," Schaefer said.  She suggests there's a misconception that people who place themselves on a donor list may not receive the same level of medical care if they're in a life-threatening accident.  "That would only be considered if they have done everything possible to try and save someone."  transplant teams will take whatever eligible kidneys they can. But there's a preference especially for kidneys from living donors which generally tend to function better and last longer and there are big questions about quality of life and worries that one of a donor's loved ones may need a kidney transplant later in life.  "It is our job to make sure those considering kidney donation are medically and psychologically acceptable," Schaefer said We don't want to put anybody at significantly higher risks … Donors who go through the process and are approved go on to donate have a really good long-term prognosis." The National Kidney Registry can help reimburse lost wages and UW Health is part of a new program through the registry where living donors can name up to five family members to get vouchers for kidneys should they ultimately need a transplant.  "I think we're seeing more interest in humanitarian kidney donation because of this," Schaefer said.  a 10-year wait for a kidney Nevertheless the demand for kidneys remains massive the average wait for a kidney is three to six years In certain parts of the country with even greater demand "For patients waiting around five plus years on dialysis that can really take a toll on the body," Schaefer said "It's very difficult for our patients having to be on that machine." The best-case scenario for a kidney recipient is to have a loved one who is a match serve as a donor The wait in those cases is typically around a month The second-best option is to enter into a paired kidney exchange program where the wait time can be dramatically reduced with an average of about six months.  Hamme herself didn't even have to wait that long getting an operation date scheduled about three months after Kay was approved to be a living donor through the paired kidney exchange program.  "We could not believe how quickly it happened," Kay said upon hearing the news from Schaefer Hamme's kidney failure diagnosis in 2019 had taken a major emotional toll on the family "My mother-in-law is a best friend and second mom to me," Kay said "My first thought (hearing the diagnosis) was What does it mean for our family?' I could just tell that my husband (Eric) was in shock." The pandemic made a somber chapter in their lives even more trying (Hamme) hasn't been able to see (Kay's stepson) Brayson play any of his sports this whole year It's been devastating that we couldn't all be together like we normally are." who worked at Watertown Regional Medical Center Kay said about 100 people volunteered to be a donor but understandable given Hamme's winning personality.  "Camille is sunshine when she walks into the room," Kay said "She takes the time to get to know you and passes no judgment on anyone She is someone with a huge heart and strikes up a conversation with anybody … She is super funny and outgoing and the life of the party."  Kay and her husband Eric were part of the first group that went through an online screening The UW Health medical team looked at their medical records and determined blood types.  They were both selected to come in for eight hours of tests in November ranging from a CT scan to a mental health screening Doctors eliminated Eric as a donor due to his family's medical history but Kay was told that her kidney was "ripe for transplant."  Not a direct match But it wasn't a match for Hamme directly a living donor's age and the size of a kidney are factors that determine an optimal match So Kay signed up for the paired kidney exchange program with Hamme "We joke all the time if she can put up with my son and grandson giving a kidney is going to be easy," Hamme joked over email.  Kay may even inspire others to donate their kidneys She has become an outspoken advocate for the cause talking about her experience on The Mix and her social media channels and becoming an ambassador for the American Kidney Fund One listener even contacted her to let her know that they were going to sign up to be a living kidney donor.  it will take her about four to six weeks to recover which can be detrimental for your kidneys.  "I've just been told I need to keep up with the healthy lifestyle I already have," Kay said The thing she's most nervous about is maintaining a healthy diet ensuring she's getting enough calories in the day while scaling back on protein But Kay's grateful that through her donation "we won't have this fear hanging over us." "The sleepless nights are fewer and further between now that we're getting closer to a resolution," Hamme wrote to the Journal Sentinel "I think I’ve embraced my own mortality through this process and knowing how much love my family has shown through this process is something that I’ll always cherish and remember even long after the kidney transplant process is over."  Kay's kidney will help someone else in need in Kentucky.  "I am someone who always wanted to have my own children biologically and I can't successfully do that," Kay said And there were so many times I was angry at my body and angry at God healthy capable body when I want to help and to give life? It feels like such a natural calling for me."
