SWOT Analysis
Health Care CEDS SWOT and Initiatives
Health care jobs are critical to the Southeast Alaska economy, and more work needs to be done to attract and retain the level of workforce needed.
In 2019, the University of Alaska Southeast, University of Alaska Anchorage, Bartlett Regional Hospital, the Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium (SEARHC), and Alaska State Hospital and Nursing Home Association (ASHNHA) partnered with Southeast Conference to conduct a Southeast Alaska health care workforce survey. The purpose of the survey was to measure the future workforce needs of regional health care providers along with the obstacles to meeting those needs; and to understand the trends and economic value of health care in the region. Combining this information with with existing data will allow health care partners to develop better regional health care recruitment, retention and training strategies, and forecast future health care workforce needs so they can more effectively plan to fill those gaps.
