HealthTrust Workforce Solutions would like to thank all of our Strategic Vendors Partners who participated in our Vendor Partner Summit in Fort Lauderdale as we met to discuss and celebrate our partners program participation and success, as well as enjoying the opportunity to be together in-person after two long years.

It was wonderful to see our partners and celebrate their 2021 successes in-person.  We truly appreciate their strong support and partnership throughout the past year, and we are grateful to work alongside them as we enter 2022. 

We also had the pleasure of announcing our 2021 MSP Program Award recipients.  It was fantastic to be able to celebrate our winners and their success. 

We thank all attendees for their part in making it a fabulous evening of comradery and celebration. 

Brendan Courtney, our President & CEO, was named to Staffing Industry Analysts' "Staffing 100" List for 2022.

The U.S. added a robust 467,000 jobs in January 2022 while the unemployment rate rose to 4% from 3.9%. However, the economy is still missing as many as 4 million workers who likely would be employed now had the pandemic never happened amid a record-breaking surge in COVID-19 cases nationwide. 

We are excited to share that we are now live with our new Clinical Education Central Sharepoint solution for all Clinical Education requests.  This solution will provide a single entry point for all education requests (missing assignments, assignment exemptions, etc.) and provide the ability for the team to process new requests within 24 hours.

This tool is now the primary source for all new education requests and will replace emails. 

Please note that invitations to the SharePoint site have been sent in a separate email.

If you are interested in additional information, please view our Instructional Guide or listen to a recorded Webex session on the site for easy reference.

For questions that cannot be addressed via the Clinical Education Central Site, please call 954-514-1333, option 2.
