This partnership underscores the belief that effective healthcare delivery relies on capable and well-supported professionals, which in turn benefits the broader community.

Continuing Workforce Solutions

The launch of the Healthcare Careers in Phoenix website aligns with the Greater Phoenix Chamber Foundation’s ongoing efforts to address workforce challenges. Previous initiatives, such as the Connect to Work AZ program launched in May 2023, aim to connect unemployed and underemployed individuals to careers in healthcare and financial services, showcasing a proactive approach to workforce development.

Reliable Outcomes and Future Aspirations

The Healthcare Workforce Collaborative has received national recognition by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for its innovative strategies. The acknowledgment serves as a testament to the potential of targeted initiatives in driving economic growth and bolstering Arizona’s healthcare capabilities.
