Health Professionals

At HopeHealth, we believe a strong, community-based health workforce begins with opportunity, education, and collaboration.

Across the nation, health care workforce shortages continue to grow, impacting physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, support staff, and other essential team members. These challenges are especially severe in rural and underserved areas, where provider recruitment and retention are ongoing concerns.

To address this, HopeHealth is investing in clinical education as a core part of our mission. We recognize that clinical residency programs, graduate student placements, and hands-on learning experiences are powerful tools for building and retaining a local, mission-driven workforce.

Through partnerships with academic institutions and the development of new education pathways, HopeHealth is working to strengthen the regional pipeline of health professionals. Our goal is to increase access to high-quality clinical rotations and residencies within a community-based, Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) model, ensuring future providers are trained with a deep understanding of the unique needs of vulnerable and underserved populations.

This commitment includes the creation of a dedicated role to lead clinical training and education efforts across the organization, helping expand capacity, deepen partnerships, and prepare the next generation of health care leaders to serve with compassion and excellence.
