The Department of Health and Human Services’ plan to reduce its workforce by 10,000 and to implement agency restructuring that will raise that number to 20,000 brought swift reaction from two healthcare organizations that work with senior citizens who have Medicare.

The organization brings a power to people’s voices and development and introduces them to dialog they wouldn’t otherwise be exposed to, says Changemaker Award recipient Nelita Iuppa, Cleveland Clinic’s executive director of informatics.  

Ochsner Children’s in New Orleans and the Institute for Safe Medication Practices, an organization that focuses on preventing medication errors, have started a joint fellowship focused on medication safety, with the goal of educating pharmacists on preventing errors to improve patient safety and outcomes.
