Preparing the Workforce for a Healthy Rhode Island

Rhode Island’s healthcare shortage, workforce gaps, and other challenges affect access to care for all who live here. But a movement has been underway for some time to ensure the State has a steady supply of dedicated, well-trained, and highly skilled workers. 

In this episode, Rick Brooks, director of Health Workforce Transformation at the Executive Office of Health and Human Services, talks about current initiatives and the importance of having a workforce that is reflective of the diversity of the communities - and individuals - whom they serve.
