Molina Healthcare and HealthStream's MissionCare Collective Launch Initiative to Create 15,000 Home Health Aide Positions
Molina Healthcare ("Molina") today announced a workforce development initiative in partnership with HealthStream's MissionCare Collective ("MissionCare") to create 15,000 home health aide ("HHA") positions across 26 states.
As part of this initiative, Molina is sponsoring an online HHA training program that meets CMS Conditions for Participation (42 CFR § 484.80). The curriculum, which is comprised of training activities and courses from MissionCare, is mobile-friendly, free, and now available in Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.
The program is designed for those looking to begin a career in HHA care, grow professionally in the field, or gain foundational training to better care for a loved one at home. Upon completion of the training, participants can continue the certification process with a local employer or school. Additionally, all participants will have access to job opportunities through HealthStream's myCNAjobs site and their innovative Career Network for the home health workforce.
"Molina partners with our state customers to find unique solutions to the challenges that face the members and providers we serve across the country. We know most of our states are facing significant shortages in the healthcare workforce – a workforce needed for individuals to thrive in their homes and communities," said Deb Bacon, executive vice president of Medicaid at Molina. "We're proud to partner with HealthStream to increase capacity in the home care space, an investment in the well-being of the communities we serve."
"There is very little awareness around careers in home health—especially among younger generations, for whom this work remains largely invisible," said Brandi Kurtyka, vice president, talent marketplace & workforce strategy, HealthStream. "Our goal is to change that narrative—whether care becomes someone's lifelong profession or a first step into the healthcare field. We need to create more career access opportunities and build a stronger pipeline of future caregivers."
This initiative is part of a broader, multi-year strategy by Molina to expand access to care, improve retention among caregivers, and increase workforce capacity across its service areas.
