Grant Description

The primary focus of our programming is the support of photographers in NM, as well as bringing our medical provider training to the state in order to increase the number of bereaved families served.

Tracking Metric

Description
NILMDTS will recruit, train, mobilize and retain professional-level photographers for the state of New Mexico. Additionally, NILMDTS will implement the new Medical Program in the state to train medical providers to photograph babies when we do not have a photographer available, or if it is a situation where it is not conducive to send a photographer. These programs rely heavily on our technology improvements. We want to make finding a photographer and/or using our Medical Program to be as easy as Uber, but with sensitivity and compassion. Photographers: We will continue our current efforts for recruiting and retaining our New Mexico photographers as well as evaluate and improve our strategies. We will continue to develop our robust training portal to provide further training for photographers on shooting and retouching sessions. Our live trainings continue to be a highlight for our volunteers. Additionally, the new technology will make the work of our volunteers seamless and easier to navigate which will improve retention. Medical: The Medical Program is just about to pilot in multiple cities. We are finishing the technology platform for nurses to directly upload photographs into our system where we provide the retouching. The training videos are complete and the course has been approved for contact hours for registered nurses. This will be available as continuing education for nurses in New Mexico as well, where we would like to do an in-person training in 2020.
