“I want to change the way we think about providing care to people at home. I would love to see home care workers valued and compensated in the way they should. As a physician, I have the privilege of being a part of patients’ lives, and I really see what's important to them. Often what matters most to them is being able to stay at home, get the care they need, and feel good. Our research is helping to get them to that goal — and that really fulfills me.”
- Dr. Madeline Sterling, Associate Professor, Weill Cornell Medicine
“We're not providing the kind of care that we're capable of providing as a national healthcare system. Our system doesn't invest in workers as a core part of delivering the kind of care that we should be delivering, given the investments that we make. And so, the work focuses on a slice of that. How do we make sure that we're providing the kind of care we should be providing, focused on one segment of the healthcare workforce: home care.”
