Episode 3: Healthcare Provider Shortage

Enter a hospital and the last thing you want to worry about is whether there are enough professionals to care for you or your loved one.

  • Joel Gilbertson, Commissioner, Health and Social Services, State of Alaska.
  • Hugh Short, Vice President of Support Services, Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation
  • Tina DeLapp, Director, School of Nursing, University of Alaska Anchorage
