Statewide Nursing & Healthcare Workforce Summit – Collective Impact is scheduled for June 18, 2019 from 12:45 pm to 4:45 pm at the Aqua Turf Club in Plantsville, CT.

​A robust and sustainable nursing and healthcare workforce in Connecticut is critical to ensure that our state can provide care to our residents. This Summit will showcase proven and successful strategies that Connecticut must undertake to foster alignment of the “Supply and Demand” of key healthcare roles essential to providing safe and quality care.

Each attendee will receive an Executive Briefing of the survey findings as part of the registration fee! The Executive Briefing will include aggregated data from practice setting participants and illustrate “High Demand” roles depicted by region, healthcare setting and zip code.

  • Collect, analyze and publish findings of this statewide data by: Facility Type, Region and Zip Code to define workforce challenges
  • Identify the current and future demand for nursing and healthcare roles across the care continuum
