New collaboration will provide clinicians with
resources vital for their continuing education on Nurse.com and
Relias Academy
Relias, the trusted education and workforce enablement partner
to 12,000 healthcare and human services organizations, today
announced its ongoing collaboration with the American Red Cross.
This collaboration grants thousands of health and mental health
professionals — including nurses, physicians, EMTs, social workers
and behavioral health specialists — exclusive access to free
continuing education course bundles.
The Red Cross is responding to almost twice as many large
disasters as it did a decade ago. This has led to a critical need
for more volunteers to support people who depend on the Red Cross
for help. Disaster health service professionals are some of the
most in-demand team members needed.
Many volunteers are retired, and the course bundles provided
through this partnership will allow Red Cross health professionals
to obtain continuing education for their licenses at no cost.
An issue many of these volunteers may face is limited time. The
educational content in the courses is developed to be convenient
and aims to strengthen the volunteer’s knowledge and skillset. The
content is enhanced by the innovative Relias Platform, which
provides users with a personalized, easy-to-use experience to keep
them engaged and provide convenience to their busy lives.
“This collaboration with Relias marks our commitment to
fostering lifelong learning and health professional development
opportunities for both Red Cross employees and volunteers,” said
Linda MacIntyre, PhD, RN, PHN, FAAN, Chief Nurse, American Red
Cross. “As volunteers comprise 90% of our workforce, we are
incredibly grateful for the opportunity to give back by offering
them the educational materials and tools they need to expand their
skillset and keep their licensure current.”
“At Relias, our mission is to definitively improve the lives of
the most vulnerable community members and their caretakers,” said
Kay Krafft, Relias CEO. “When we were presented with the
opportunity to help support the selfless volunteers and employees
at the Red Cross, we knew we had to participate.”
In addition to complimentary courses from Relias, Red Cross
health professionals can take advantage of other resources
including networking and community building opportunities from the
company’s other brands including Nurse.com and Relias Academy.
“All healthcare providers deserve to receive adequate
recognition and career advancement opportunities, particularly
those who give up so many of their own resources to help others in
need,” said Felicia Sadler, MJ, BSN, RN, CPHQ, LSSBB, Vice
President of Quality at Relias.
As part of its corporate responsibility program, Relias pledged
to match up to $5,000 in employee and client donations toward the
Maui wildfire relief efforts, assisting with the distribution of
meals and housing. Relias raised a total donation of $15,305 for
the Red Cross. The companies will continue expanding their
partnership through activities such as collaborative speaking
opportunities, volunteer campaigns and donation efforts.
