Working with Rogue Workforce Partnership is always a pleasure, and it is a wonderful resource to businesses and individuals in our community! We are so excited about the new leadership and can't wait to continue partnering on exciting workforce development opportunities!

🎙️ Tonight on NBC5 News at 6, News Director Joe Sullivan interviews Mary Lockwood and Brent Kell from the Rogue Workforce Partnership. They discuss how the public private collaboration is helping meet local hiring needs in Jackson and Josephine Counties by connecting businesses, educators, and job seekers. The conversation also highlights a new state grant focused on strengthening the construction workforce in the Rogue Valley and explores how artificial intelligence could shape the future of jobs. The partnership has already helped hundreds of people gain skills in medical and technical fields, boosting career opportunities and supporting the local economy.

It's been a while, but we're back with 🩻 Today we have a hip with a history. Unfortunately hip and knee replacements don't last forever, so if you get one on the young side, you will probably have to go in for revisions. This patient looks to be on the second (or maybe 3rd) revision of an initial hip replacement. The fracture of the bone is likely not new, but it's been tied down and secured so it's not going anywhere.

We had a great time at the Pipeline to Progress: Building the Healthcare Workforce conference put on by the Ashland Chamber of Commerce! 👩‍🔬

It is always so fulfilling to be in a room of likeminded people working towards making our region stronger! Dr Shereef Elnahal, the OHSU President, gave a wonderful keynote and prompted thoughtful questions and discussion. Our own CEO Brent was on a panel to discuss career pathways, and show the mission of building a healthcare workforce in action!

Thank you to the organizers, and let's keep the conversation going! ⭐️

CEO Brent was on the road to the Urgent Care Congress in Las Vegas, where he gave a talk on expanding from urgent care to specialty care, such as dermatology, orthopedics, and occupational health. What a great opportunity to get together and learn and share with other top urgent care centers, and businesses supporting urgent cares, from around the country!
