WGA shares bipartisan policy recommendations for building a robust health care workforce
In correspondence with the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Health, WGA submitted bipartisan policy recommendations related to the Subcommittee’s hearing titled, Advancing the Next Generation of America’s Health Care Workforce. The February 24 letter, signed by WGA Executive Director Jack Waldorf, called for effective programs to help build the health care workforce. “Governors urge the federal government to examine and implement programs to ensure states have an adequate health care workforce – including in primary care, maternal health, behavioral health, and oral health, as well as other in-demand specialties – that is prepared to serve diverse populations in urban, suburban, and rural communities,” reads the letter.
