Retreat Healthcare Earns ESTEAM's Inaugural Leader in Wellness Award
In a significant recognition of excellence in caregiving, Retreat Healthcare has been awarded the prestigious Leader in Wellness Award by ESTEAM Health. This award highlights their unwavering commitment to enhancing caregiving standards and elevating the quality of care for aging individuals through innovative approaches.
Founded to address the pressing challenges in aging care, ESTEAM Health focuses on improving various aspects of caregiving. Among these challenges are the escalating operating costs, a notable shortage of physicians and caregivers, the quality of caregiving, and an alarming decline in the intrinsic capacity of older adults. The combination of these factors creates immense pressure on the overall cost of care, compelling the need for effective solutions.
To combat these issues, ESTEAM Health implements evidence-based strategies grounded in Exercise, Science, Technology, Engagement, Arts, and Medicine. These approaches are revolutionizing wellness programs and training high-performance caregivers who are prepared to meet these challenges proactively.
The emphasis on caregivers is crucial, especially since they endure emotionally, physically, and mentally demanding conditions daily. Caregivers are often tasked with making critical decisions affecting the lives of their patients. In acknowledgment of this complexity, ESTEAM Health promotes the development of essential skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, behavioral empathy, and team collaboration, which are all vital for delivering quality care.
Pioneering New Standards in Caregiving
Retreat Healthcare has emerged as a model for excellence in caregiving, as evidenced by its involvement in pilot studies of a ground-breaking program known as The ART of High-Performance Caregiving. This innovative program utilizes an arts-based experiential learning model that has undergone a decade of research funded by the National Science Foundation.
Over fifty employees from Retreat Healthcare participated in this engaging training aimed at bolstering essential skills that significantly impact caregiver health, safety, and performance. Their exemplary efforts have not only benefitted their team but have also positively influenced numerous lives, including that of ESTEAM Health's Founder during her father's struggle with Alzheimer's disease.

"Retreat Healthcare has set a new standard in quality caregiving through their commitment to innovation, collaboration, and caregiver excellence," stated Alyssa Janney, Founder and CEO of ESTEAM Health. "It is an honor to present them with the inaugural ESTEAM Health Leader in Wellness Award, recognizing their leadership in advancing caregiving by fostering essential competencies that drive excellence in aging care."
The inaugural award ceremony took place recently at the New Mexico State Legislature, where Retreat Healthcare was formally recognized. Representative Alan T. Martinez, Minority Whip, played a significant role in honoring Retreat Healthcare for their outstanding contributions.
The Impact of Arts-Based Learning
This award illustrates the vital role that arts-based experiential learning plays in enhancing caregiver performance and improving patient outcomes. ESTEAM Health remains dedicated to developing pioneering solutions that not only empower caregivers but also promote improvements in the intrinsic capacity of the elderly through carefully designed wellness programs, quality assurance, and control measures.
