The Greater Philadelphia Healthcare Partnership’s quarterly IP meeting helped launch a major Ebola Worker Safety Symposium, sponsored and organized by the District 1199C Training & Upgrading Fund’s Healthcare Occupational Safety Center. Featured speakers included guests from the Philadelphia Department of Health, US Centers for Disease Control, OSHA, and healthcare labor unions with members on the front lines of the fight against Ebola. More than 135 participants from seven nursing homes, six hospitals, five schools, eleven federal, state and local government agencies, four public service organizations and four unions participated in a day of speakers, panelists, live demonstrations and open Q&A periods

IP Director Susan Thomas opened the day’s events with her quarterly summary of Greater Philadelphia Healthcare Partnership activities and achievements. To date, the Partnership has completed 258 trainings, and is on pace for another banner year as a leading provider of low-cost, high-quality training solutions for the Greater Philadelphia region’s frontline healthcare workers and managers.

The Partnership also announced that it had officially kicked off work on its new, $4 million On-the-Job Training (OJT) grant from the US Department of Labor, with a number of Community Health Worker placements already agreed to by participating employers. Also introduced was Lacey Dickinson, the Partnership’s new Employer Liaison. Lacey moved into her current role from another local industry partnership, the Sustainable Business Network of Greater Philadelphia, where she served as Membership Manager. Lacey can be contacted at ldickinson@1199ctraining.org, or 215-568-2220, x5103.
