Introducing BenCura University
KENNESAW, GA / ACCESS Newswire / January 16, 2025 /At BenCura, continuous education and quality improvement form the cornerstone of our organization. In line with this commitment, we are excited to announce the launch of BenCura University in 2025-a new and innovative educational opportunity for our partner hospitals and skilled nursing facilities.
"As someone who comes from a family of educators, education has always been a fundamental aspect of my personal and professional growth," said Sheewayne Sandoval, President & CEO of BenCura. "This passion for learning extends to our team at BenCura, as well as the facilities we partner with. Not a quarter goes by without a partner asking if we offer educational courses. Recognizing this clear need, we developed BenCura University to address it with purpose and impact."
Sandoval and her team have crafted a mission and vision to position BenCura as a leader in comprehensive, innovative, and interdisciplinary educational programs.
"Our goal is to empower not just therapists but the entire healthcare team," Sandoval emphasized. "By advancing professional knowledge and operational excellence, our vision is to deliver exceptional, patient-centered care while enhancing the sustainability and financial health of our partner facilities."
Key Focus Areas of BenCura University
The team at BenCura has identified five foundational pillars for BenCura University 's educational offerings:
Clinical Excellence
Specialized courses for physical, occupational, and speech therapists designed to equip them with cutting-edge techniques and best practices.
Programs for certified nursing assistants (CNAs), nurses, and other essential caregivers to ensure holistic, patient-centered care.
Operational Management
Training in compliance, financial analysis, and leadership for operations teams to drive efficiency, regulatory adherence, and effective facility management.
Interdisciplinary Collaboration
Integrated courses that foster collaboration among therapy, nursing, and administrative teams, bridging gaps for a unified approach to care delivery.
Restorative and Specialized Programs
Highlighting BenCura 's signature programs aimed at improving patient outcomes, independence, and quality of life.
Quality Care Initiatives like Activities of Daily Living (ADL), Seating and Positioning, Falls Prevention, and others that enhance both patient satisfaction and workforce efficiency.
Leadership and Communication
Courses designed to strengthen leadership skills and communication among organizational leaders and care teams.
Specialized modules on patient engagement and team alignment to improve operational cohesion and care delivery.
Setting a New Standard for Healthcare Education
While many educational programs exist in the healthcare sector, BenCura University stands apart by combining insights from leading educational experts with over two decades of in-house experience in patient care and operational management.
"Through targeted courses in compliance and financial analysis, BenCura University will help reduce costly errors and optimize resource allocation," Sandoval noted. "This directly impacts the financial health and sustainability of our partner facilities."
Sandoval further highlighted the connection between well-trained care teams and improved outcomes: "When therapists and other care team members are empowered with the right knowledge and skills, they deliver high-quality assessments and treatments. This leads to higher patient satisfaction, faster recovery times, and increased referrals, all while boosting staff morale and retention."
Tackling Industry Challenges
Staff turnover remains one of the most significant challenges in healthcare, especially in skilled nursing facilities.
"Turnover is a costly issue," Sandoval explained. "BenCura University aims to attract and retain top talent-therapists, CNAs, nurses, and administrative staff-by fostering a culture of growth and empowerment. When employees feel invested in, they 're more likely to stay engaged and committed to their work."
Sandoval envisions BenCura University as a tool to re-energize and inspire professionals across the care continuum. "We want our courses to empower individuals to think bigger, feel energized, and see the impact of their work in real-time."
