Ep. 90 - Who’s Left to Staff the Clinic? Inside the Healthcare Staffing Crisis (ft. Van Ton-Quinlivan)

Episode notes

Listen now to understand the health care staffing shortage beyond doctors and nurses. Open roles are stacking up. Teams are stretched thin. It’s about the allied health professionals who keep care moving - EMTs, medical assistants, phlebotomists, imaging techs, respiratory therapists and more - and how their shortages are quietly straining every hallway, lab and clinic. In this episode of Working Healthcare, host Meredith Hirsh talks with Van Ton-Quinlivan, founder and CEO of Futuro Health, about why these roles rarely get the spotlight even though they make up most of the healthcare workforce and are essential for diagnosing, treating and rehabilitating patients. They dig into the scale of the problem and what it really takes to stop competing for the same shrinking talent pool. Van shares the story behind the nonprofit model she designed to cut tuition debt, simplify training and create local, ready-to-hire pipelines that improve retention, equity and the patient experience. Queue it up now and rethink your workforce strategy from the ground up, with a model you can actually apply.
