Becker’s Hospital Review published an article Oct. 31 that includes responses from MHA CEO Brian Peters and other MHA members.
Becker’s asked C-suite executives from hospitals and health systems across the U.S. to share their most beneficial partnerships in 2024.
Peters focused on the close partnerships established between the MHA, higher education and state government to address healthcare workforce job openings.
“Understanding the significant workforce challenges confronted by our member hospitals and health systems, we have partnered closely with the higher education community and state government to lift up healthcare as a career path for young people and mid-careerists, and to provide new programming and support for their educational journey,” said Peters. “We launched a new state-wide campaign featuring billboard, radio, and digital advertising, as well as a new website. These efforts have led to our hospitals’ success in filling over 60,000 open positions over the course of the last year.”
Additional MHA members who contributed to the article include:
