Philanthropy at Work
Sim Lab
In today’s healthcare environment, nurses and other clinical healthcare providers play an invaluable role on the patient’s medical care team. Studies prove that when used in conjunction with classroom instruction and clinical experiences, nurses trained in simulation labs are more efficient and confident, resulting in safer care, improved patient outcomes, and higher rates of treatment success. Philanthropic support has funded Princeton Health’s initiative to create a world-class Simulation Training Program that will provide patient care teams with hands-on learning in a wide variety of medical techniques. Our new Sim Lab will feature two full-scale patient rooms, classroom space, and adult and pediatric high-tech mannequins for training on lifesaving procedures, such as cardiac arrest management, difficult airway management, neonatal/pediatric/adult critical care/resuscitation, and more.
Geriatric Oncology
Despite all of cancer’s many mysteries, one fact is clear: The risk of getting cancer increases with age. A new, donor-funded, two-year pilot program will allow us to conduct comprehensive geriatric assessments for patients age 65 and older who are diagnosed with cancer and who have geriatric conditions, disability, or frailty. This program is funded by the Bristol-Myers Squibb Community Health Center.
First Responders
In New Jersey, law enforcement officers are 30% more likely to commit suicide than the general population. Our first responders program, which serves law enforcement, active military, veterans, and first responders, provides education about stress management and risk awareness right from the beginning of their careers. With support from our donors, Princeton Health’s First Responders Treatment Services hopes to promote balance and enhance the well-being of those who protect and serve our communities. This program is supported by a $250,000 state grant to integrate health care for members of the military, veterans, and first responders.
