Washington Health Foundation

The Washington Health Foundation has received a $1 million appropriation from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration to start a nursing retention demonstration project. The project will be coordinated by the foundation's director of quality, Elizabeth Floersheim, and aims to improve retention rates of registered nurses working in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities in Washington. According to one study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the U.S. will experience a 20 percent shortage in the number of nurses needed by the year 2020.
