Contributed by: Liz Keating on 7/30/2008

Jane Barnes, manager of Senior Programs for St. Anthony Hospitals, is once again creating innovative opportunities for Boomers. The ReConnect Leadership project will be a win-win for Boomers and hospital patients and their families. She is looking for 10-12 Boomers interested in being part of the first cohort in September.

The ReConnect volunteers, called "Connectors" will act as unpaid patient advocates and mentors who will complement regular patient services. When they begin seeing patients, they will have had over 50 hours of training. Curriculum modules include diversity, healthcare, communication, leadership, spirituality, patient resources, aging, and end-of-life issues.

"Our strategic goal is to position St. Anthony Hospitals for a higher dimension of performance through innovative, high quality, cost effective, civic-service driven, health-related services," says Barnes. We are excited to have the support of the Rose Community Foundation, St. Anthony Hospitals as well as an active advisory board.

If this sounds like something you would like to investigate, please call Jane at 303-629-4921 or email her: janebarnes@centura.org.
