A Michigan hospital is launching a new campaign to tackle the ongoing labor shortage in the state's healthcare workforce.
The campaign, which begins on Monday and is financed by the Michigan Health and Hospital Association, aims to retain, retrain, and attract more people to clinical and non-clinical healthcare settings throughout the state. There is growing concern about maintaining healthcare access, with around 27,000 open healthcare jobs and the loss of 1,700 hospital beds over the last few years due to staffing shortages. The campaign will showcase the benefits of working in the healthcare sector, such as pay, benefits, and making a difference in patients' lives.
The need for more healthcare workers is particularly critical as Michigan's population ages. Thirty-seven of the top 50 high-demand and highly-paid occupations require a four-year degree, 14 of which are in the healthcare sector. To fill the talent gap, the state's universities may have to turn to out-of-state students, international students, and adults who have attended some college but have no degree.
Michigan hospitals offer maximum scheduling flexibility, transportation to and from work, child care support, and increased pay to attract and retain employees.
