Our Core Programs

The Connection Hub

The Connection Hub, our largest program and founding mission, is a first of its kind resource created to help medically complex families connect with nurses in their own communities. We strongly believe that patients are more than their medical diagnosis, and that nurses benefit from knowing more about their clients before accepting a job. We allow families to create personalized profiles that promote their case and tell a full story about their child or loved one, including photos, preferences and other care needs. The Hub also empowers families and nurses during the matching process, with the goal of increasing compatibility and ultimately increasing family care coverage while decreasing nurse burnout.

The F.A.C.E.S. Project

The F.A.C.E.S. Project, a.k.a. Families Advocating for Care, Education, and Support of Pediatric Home Health Project, is a nationwide free resource designed for nursing schools. This initiative shares the powerful stories of medically complex families across the U.S., introducing nursing students to the world of pediatric home health through the lens of the families themselves. The goal of this easy to utilize resource is to encourage nursing programs to highlight this often-overlooked pediatric population.

By putting real faces to this segment of healthcare, Hello Nurze hopes to raise awareness among nursing students, encouraging them to explore and advocate for the needs of pediatric patients in home health settings.
