Mission
THE JOSIE KING FOUNDATION PROVIDES PATIENT SAFETY TOOLS TO HOSPITALS, MEDICAL SCHOOLS AND NURSING SCHOOLS AND INDIVIDUALS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
Program accomplishments
- NURSING JOURNALS -In 2004, JKF created the Nurse's Journal in response to the growing awareness of the challenges in the nursing profession that can lead to stress and burnout. These journals have been distributed to over 20,000 nurses from around the country. The Journal contains exercises that help nurses reflect on, and write about, work-related stress and personal issues that can affect their lives. It also includes before- and after- stress evaluation charts that enable nurses to assess their stress levels and note any changes after completing the journal exercises. This can help raise awareness of stress symptoms so they can be addressed in a timely manner. There are additional journal pages for free writing where nurses can write about whatever is on their minds. In 2011-12, JKF partnered with Medstar Georgetown University Hospital to revise and revamp the Nurse's Journal. The new Nurse's Journal continues to serve as a tool for the hard-working nurses who do so much for all of us and, who sometimes perhaps forget to take care of themselves. In 2012, 4,212 Nurse's Journals were shipped to nurses across the country benefiting each nurse who has received one. In 2013 approximately 4,073 were shipped and in 2014, 1072 were distributed. In 2015, 2,509 copies were shipped out to nurses across the country. In 2016, 3,761 Nurse's Journals were shipped. In 2017, 1,699 Nurse's Journals were shipped across the country, and in 2018, 2,726 were shipped. In 2019, 770 Nurse's Journals were shipped. In 2021, 1,106 Nurse's Journals were shipped. In 2022, 1,480 Nurse's Journals were shipped. In 2023, 597 Nurse's Journals were shipped. In 2024, 834 Nursing Journals were shipped. In 2025, 116 Nursing Journals were shipped.Expenses $473

- CARE JOURNAL - THE CARE JOURNAL IS A TOOL TO HELP PATIENTS AND THEIR LOVED ONES RECORD THE DETAILS OF THEIR MEDICAL CARE. HOSPITALIZATION CAN BE AN OVERWHELMING EXPERIENCE IN ADDITION TO THE STRESS OF BEING FACED WITH HEALTH CHALLENGES, THERE IS ALSO THE ADDED STRESS OF HAVING TO KEEP TRACK OF NEW AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION. THE 30-DAY CARE JOURNAL WAS DESIGNED TO HELP PATIENTS MANAGE THIS INFORMATION. THEN IN 2012, JKF CREATED THE CARE JOURNAL MINI, AFTER NOTING THAT PATIENTS WITH SHORTER STAYS HAD DIFFERENT NEEDS. THE MINI COVERS SEVEN 7 DAYS OF HOSPITALIZATION AND IS PHYSICALLY SMALLER AND MORE PORTABLE. BOTH CARE JOURNALS CAN BE SPONSORED BY A HOSPITAL AND PERSONALIZED WITH A BLACK LABEL THAT CAN BE APPLIED TO THE BACK COVER. WHEN THE HOSPITAL HANDS THE PATIENT OR THE PATIENT'S LOVED ONE A CARE JOURNAL UPON ADMISSION IT SENDS A POSITIVE MESSAGE - HERE IS A GIFT FROM US TO YOU. WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO KEEP TRACK OF INFORMATION AND TO ASK QUESTIONS AND MOST OF ALL WE INVITE YOU TO PARTNER WITH US IN YOUR CARE.. OUR GOAL IS FOR HOSPITALS TO PARTNER WITH US IN THE CARE JOURNAL CAMPAIGN BY MAKING A DONATION TO THE FOUNDATION. IN RETURN, WE WILL PROVIDE JOURNALS FOR THE HOSPITALS TO PRESENT TO THEIR PATIENTS AS A GIFT. IN 2016, 1,420 CARE JOURNAL MINIS AND 6,285 30-DAY CARE JOURNALS WERE SHIPPED TO HOSPITALS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. IN 2017, 4,665 CARE JOURNAL MINIS AND 8,391 30-DAY CARE JOURNALS WERE SHIPPED TO HOSPITALS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. IN 2018, 794 CARE JOURNAL MINIS AND 8,316 30-DAY CARE JOURNALS WERE SHIPPED ACROSS THE COUNTRY. IN 2019, 175 CARE JOURNAL MINIS AND 4,101 30-DAY CARE JOURNALS WERE SHIPPED ACROSS THE COUNTRY. IN 2020, 9,270 CARE JOURNAL MINIS AND 4,354 30-DAY CARE JOURNALS WERE SHIPPED ACROSS THE COUNTRY. IN 2022, 1,550 30-DAY CARE JOURNALS WERE SHIPPED ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
