Now Streaming | Growing the East Bay's health care workforce

The East Bay Leadership Council’s Opportunity Task Force was excited to bring together partners who share in our vision of increased access to health care careers in the East Bay.

The local shortages of nurses and behavioral health workers was a major topic of conversation while also recognizing the challenge that educational institutions face in recruiting a teaching workforce in these high demand fields.

This was a particularly enlightening conversation for our team as we continue our work to increase economic equity, develop talent, and broaden opportunity.
