2021 HIP Annual Community Forum

Juntos Y Adelante

Advancing Recovery and Equity Beyond COVID-19

Keynote speaker, Van Ton-Quinlivan, CEO of Futuro Health and author of WorkforceRx: Agile and Inclusive Strategies for Employers, Educators, and Workers in Unsettled Times shared insights from her book on a solutions framework for tackling workforce challenges that incorporate employers, educators, and community-based organizations and workforce development boards. This framework produces skilled workers who are diverse and from the community in a reliable way and encourages stacking credentials to create on-ramps and off-ramps for students and incumbent workers to pursue healthcare careers.
