(WBAY) -A health care worker shortage, only made more apparent during the COVID-19 pandemic, has prompted the state to start a new campaign encouraging Wisconsinites to consider a future in the health care field.
Wisconsin’s Department of Health Services announced its newly launched ‘WisHealth Careers’ last week. “Our ability to fight COVID-19 depends on having a robust workforce caring for our most vulnerable residents,” said DHS Secretary-designee Andrea Palm. “The surge in cases has put a strain on every community in the state, and we need motivated Wisconsinites to step up and fill in where they are needed most.”
“For the country as a whole, we are looking at some serious shortages,” said Matt Rentmeester with Bellin College. Rentmeester said the shortage will likely get worse.
