About Us
Who We Are
The New York State Zero Lift Task Force is made up of healthcare workers, administrators, patient advocates, union representatives and safety and health professionals that want to ensure the health and safety of all patients and healthcare workers in New York State.
Our Mission Statement
Our mission is to create a safe environment for patients and healthcare workers by eliminating strenuous manual lifting tasks involved in transferring and repositioning patients, thus improving the physical well-being of health care workers, significantly reducing negative patient outcomes, improving the financial strength of the health care industry by significantly reducing workers compensation costs, and retaining and recruiting qualified staff.
NYS P.U.S.H. Campaign
The NYS P.U.S.H. (Protection Using Safe Handling) Campaign is our educational and awareness program by which we hope to educate New York about the clear benefits of safe patient handling. Through training programs, continuing research, statistical data and legislative efforts, we want New Yorkers to know that safe patient handling programs and legislation will save and protect the future of healthcare in New York State.
