Caregiver Training Program

Hebron Medical Center’s Caregiver Training Program is a comprehensive, evidence-based curriculum designed to empower caregivers with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to provide compassionate, safe, and culturally responsive care. The program integrates clinical best practices with person-centered care, focusing on the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being of patients and their families. It is suitable for professional caregivers, family caregivers enrolled in hospital-supported training, and volunteers who support patient care activities within the hospital setting.

Program Philosophy

  • Patient- and family-centered care: Respect for patient preferences, values, and expressed needs; family involvement as an essential part of care.
  • Safety and quality: Emphasis on infection prevention, medication safety, fall prevention, adverse event reporting, and escalation protocols.
  • Dignity and autonomy: Promotion of autonomy, informed consent, privacy, and culturally sensitive care.
  • Compassionate communication: Clear, empathetic, and effective communication with patients, families, and multidisciplinary teams.
  • Lifelong learning: Ongoing competency development, reflective practice, and continuous improvement.
