Assembly to Assess Health Workforce Budget Proposals on Monday

On Monday, March 14, Assembly Budget Subcommittee No. 1 on Health and Human Services will be hearing the Governor’s health care workforce budget proposals under issue 7. While the focus is on the health care workforce, CHEAC has been invited to join the panel discussion to highlight the challenges the public health workforce is experiencing, including but not limited to significant workforce recruitment and retention challenges, many of which existed prior to the pandemic, but have only been exacerbated by burnout, harassment of public health officials, and increased competition with other sectors.

The Assembly Budget Subcommittee No. 1 on Health and Human Services hearing agenda can be found here. More detail on this panel and the health care workforce proposals can be found on page 31.
