Description
Rural and underserved health systems compete for the same limited talent as urban counterparts, often with fewer resources. Panelists share proven tactics — loan repayment, housing incentives, community partnerships, and flexible scheduling — helping these organizations recruit and retain staff. Attendees leave with practical solutions adaptable to their own markets.
