As a rural healthcare provider, it can be overwhelming to wade through news headlines surrounding recruitment, retention, and the state of our healthcare workforce. How do you make the right decisions in a world trying to recover from the Covid pandemic and an unprecedented workforce market? Did you know that the average cost of turnover for a bedside RN is over $40k and causes a hospital to lose $3.6m to $6.5m a year? Once you hire staff, where do they live? Housing continues to be a significant challenge for our rural healthcare providers. We can help!

Please join us on April 22nd from 10:30 am – 12:00 pm for our Virtual Workforce and Housing Summit to collaborate and share innovative stories. The Summit provides an opportunity for HR and other leaders interested in solving these issues to hear from a panel of experts and peer-to-peer collaboration to help guide you through these challenging issues.
