August 03, 2023 – ARH is excited to announce a partnership with, KY HealthCorps, an Americorps Program that focuses on students in the nursing pathway.
KY HealthCorps, an AmeriCorps program sponsored by Family Scholar House, and ARH will work together to place nursing students in our facilities. ARH will be the host site employer, KY HealthCorps will be paying students’ wages and providing scholarships for many homes of the nursing programs where students are enrolled.
According to Dylon Baker, System Director of Talent Acquisition, “KY HealthCorps and ARH both focus on meeting the needs of a community so it’s a natural, logical partnership. Students benefit as they get more clinical experience and ARH benefits as many of the nurses in our program have become employees upon graduation.”
Baker says, “Students will be working in the ARH Nurse Extern program, providing assistance with delivering patient care at ARH while experiencing on-the-job training. This partnership is one of the ways that ARH is working to strengthen the workforce in our region.”
