Who’s Caring for Our Caregivers and Educators?

01 the problem

The Distillate

Do you remember the teacher who shaped your future? The nurse who cared for you when you were at your worst?

Those heroes cared. They sacrificed. They gave you their best.

But today, those same heroes are facing mounting challenges. Overworked, under-resourced, and asked to do more with less (people, dollars, time), we’re eroding a foundational element of how we build and grow communities and our society.

Burnout is skyrocketing
Nearly half of healthcare workers and educators feel overwhelmed daily.

Underpayment is pervasive
Teachers and nurses earn a fraction of what professionals in other industries take home.

Exodus is occurring
By 2025, nearly 50% of healthcare workers and thousands of educators will leave their fields altogether.

Without them, who will care for our communities? Who will inspire the next generation? The system is failing them. But you can help change that. The Distillate brings a cohesive, collaborative pathway that leverages our learnings to help foster generational growth for heroes who help.

Join The Distillate’s Mission

to Help Health Workers
and Educators

We are just getting started. Your donation will establish and fund our inaugural grants — and there’s more to come with making this a self-sustaining non-profit.

Why self-sustaining? Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime. It’s that simple.

As an organization with a desire and drive to help, we will need the support of our community through financial contributions, time, and networking. If we want to thrive, we must learn how to develop our own economic viability. So, it is our mission to help people and find a way to ensure that our business model is economically viable so that we can use our profits for reinvestment and support, impacting and empowering our caregivers and educators.

The Distillate is developing a tool designed to transform the healthcare system. This innovative software will streamline the process of assessing, triaging, and connecting patients with the most suitable care teams. By creating a smarter matching system, it ensures that patients and caregivers have timely access to the right information and resources for their specific needs.

As The Distillate builds relationships with healthcare and educational institutions and as the software gains traction within academic healthcare and healthcare systems, it will ensure ongoing support for those on the frontlines of healthcare and education. The revenue generated will not only sustain the platform but also contribute to the broader mission of The Distillate, ensuring that healthcare workers and educators receive the support they need to excel in their roles and provide the best possible care and education to others. It will also fund the ability to expand the scope of programs, increase advocacy efforts, and influence policy to address systemic issues for greater impact.
