Where we have solid pipelining within the careers, within health care,” [Jan] Harrington-Davis [Corewell Health’s Senior VP of Talent Attraction] said. “Also, that our communities are vibrant and thriving, and Michigan is the best place to come live and work, and we have the ability to recruit people from outside of Michigan into Michigan to live within our communities. At the same step, we have also targeted that half a million … and we’ve engaged them into health care, and we’ve been able sell to them that this is a great place to work … and most of all, on top of that, that we have healthier communities.”
