🤘 Happy Friday! My feed is full of people who are looking for their next role, and my heart goes out to them. It's a tough market for sure and looking for a new job is a full time job. On the opposite end we are having a huge problem recruiting and retaining workforce in healthcare. Why is that? I recently read an article, naming 22 of the U.S. News & World Report's 2023-24 Best Hospitals Honor Roll and their job vacancies. Just from those hospitals alone there are 15k+ jobs open. 🤔 I'm curious, what steps are these hospitals and healthcare systems using to retain the employees they do have? What are they doing to attract new talent? Having worked in healthcare in a past life, I know how burnout feels and I've seen countless others struggle with it at the patient-facing levels. How can we further support our healthcare workers so they can continue to care for us and our loved ones? Thoughts?

It’s not what you know, it’s WHO you know Today marks my 5-year anniversary practicing at Pearle Vision in Strongsville, OH. In short, my first job out of school in Orlando, FL was “a dream job” to any new grad. I eventually had the itch to return home to Ohio. I came across what I thought was a terrific opportunity at a Union Eye Care location. I flew out to Ohio in December 2018 to meet with them, and they pitched the idea of taking over for a retiring doctor with an established patient base. They had been open for 60 years, and it sounded like a unicorn opportunity, so I didn’t think much of it. My first eye exam as a kid was at a Union Eye Care. I signed a contract with a start date of May 2019. Fast forward five months, and I’m ready to make the move to begin my new journey. A week before the 17-hour road trip from Florida to Cleveland, the Union Eye Care CEO called me, letting me know that everything was ready for me to practice when I arrived in a few days. Two days after I arrived in Ohio, I asked my brother to go on a road trip so that I could pick up a car I committed to buying. During the trip, I received an email from the CEO of Union Eye Care addressed to me and 49 others: --- Hello, To all Union Eye Care employees: Unfortunately, due to our current financial position, the running of Union Eye Care has been difficult. As a regrettable outcome of this, it is with sincere regret that the Board of Trustees made the decision that Union Eye Care Inc. will be filing for bankruptcy... --- No text, no call. Just a mass email that I was CC’d on. I won’t go on about the feeling of betrayal or the numbness this left in me. I turned to my brother and said, “Actually, turn around. I don’t want this car anymore.” To say my family was confused when I returned without that car is an understatement. I kept the news bottled up until the next day when I broke it to everyone around me. Word spread quick and I turned down several on-camera news interviews out of embarrassment. Suddenly jobless, I spent the next few days scrambling to apply for jobs. As the dust started to settle, I lined up job interviews over the course of a few weeks. The life-changing tipping point was when a medical-device sales rep reached out to me asking if I was ready for him to drop off equipment I had committed to purchasing. I informed him of the sudden change in my situation. He tipped me off with contact info for my current position. To stay busy until I received credentials to practice at my new office, I filled my schedule with various locum work and even flew out to Florida on the weekends. When I began, many former Union Eye Care patients were coming in, and they had all sorts of stories to vent about their former eye care provider closing. Little did they know, I could kind of relate to them ☺️🤧While watching this practice grow over the last five years, I wouldn’t have wanted things to happen any other way! It’s not what you know, it’s WHO you know
