Chamberlain University has recently launched a home health specialty initiative to address staffing issues in home health and continuing care. The initiative is funded through a $1.2 million grant awarded to the university by the American Nurses Foundation's Reimagining Nursing Initiative.
 
As the country continues to face a nursing shortage, Chamberlain University is offering nursing students an overview of home health nursing care through a virtual course, "Introduction to Continuing Health (ICH)," developed with the university’s partner BrightStar Care, the home care and medical staffing franchise.
 
Students who complete and pass the course can spend 96 hours of clinical time at BrightStar Care and other home health partners. The university's partnership with BrightStar Care will continue as the course is piloted through the university's different campuses.
