Healthcare consulting services firm Pathway Health has developed a new workforce initiative designed to address the urgent need to fill leadership roles in long-term care and senior living. 

Pathway Health Emerging Leader Solutions offers a comprehensive suite of services that includes interim leaders, mentorship and guidance to empower emerging and new-to-career leaders seeking a career in nursing home or senior living administration.

The profession “continues to face unprecedented leadership challenges due to a number of factors, including the growing needs of an aging population and workforce pressures resulting from leaders reaching retirement age and turnover,” said Pathway Health CEO Peter B. Schuna.

Among the new services is PathPass mentoring and licensure examination preparation to aid new leaders and undergraduate and graduate candidates. Also, CareerPrep offers career search mentorship, preparation, professional development and career placement for long-term care leaders.

In addition, PathPro will connect Pathway Health professionals with current leaders who are seeking mentorship and professional career development support.

“We aim to not only support new-to-career leaders as they start their career journey but also provide ongoing mentorship for existing leaders to achieve a successful, long-standing career,” Schuna said.
