Creating an active workforce development program is vital to feeding the future of health care providers and solutions to the workforce challenges can often be found in hospital volunteer programs.

Learn from leaders who have successfully developed and grown career pathway programs utilizing both hospital and community resources. They’ll share how making the right connections can strengthen your volunteer program and help build the hiring pipeline within your hospital. They will also share success stories about past volunteers who are now health care heroes.
