S 4061 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Directs DHS to establish three year advertising campaign to attract certified home health aides to health care professions; appropriates $3 million.

This bill directs New Jersey's Department of Human Services to launch a three-year advertising campaign aimed at attracting certified home health aides to health care careers, using $3 million in state funds. The campaign will promote health care professions as rewarding careers and highlight available scholarships, student loan assistance, and financial support for aides seeking these roles. It requires targeted advertising to recruit from underrepresented racial groups, aides with senior care expertise, and those entering high-demand health care fields. The Department must submit a report to the Governor and Legislature within six months after the campaign ends, detailing its effectiveness and recommending whether to continue it.
