Our Goal ... An Adequate, Well-Trained and Affordable Hospital Workforce
Keeping a strong, educated, dedicated workforce is one of the most demanding challenges our hospitals face. Providing an environment conducive to retaining employees is difficult at a time when demand for health care employees at almost every level outweighs the supply. The main issues identified as leading to our current workforce shortage include the need for nursing instructors, as well as a lack of classrooms and clinical rotations for students. KHA will continue to work on these issues and advocate for regulations that do not burden an already critical situation.
