Today, we feature Lana Saeed, Clinical Recruiter at Asbury Communities, Inc. Asbury is the nation’s 15th largest not-for-profit senior living organization. With 11 senior living communities, pharmacy and outpatient therapy management services, as well as the Asbury Foundation and ThriveWell Tech, Asbury employs approximately 2,800 associates who proudly serve more than 4,300 older adults in Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Tennessee. Lana shared that she was introduced to recruiting through her role as a case manager about 7-8 years ago, and later worked for a startup and a staffing company, focusing on clinical roles. She has been a clinical recruiter at Asbury for three years, working alongside one other clinical recruiter. Their team is responsible for sourcing, interviewing, and hiring for various clinical positions (nursing, therapy), across multiple communities in Pennsylvania and Maryland. The day-to-day tasks involve constant communication with hiring managers, making offers, and sending candidates to onboarding. Lana joined NAHCR recently and has already taken and passed her CHCR certification. She found the examination to be a good mix of learning material and real-life experience. She was contemplating between joining NAHCR or SHRM and decided upon NAHCR due to a better alignment with her role and needs as a health care recruitment professional. Several of her colleagues also highly recommended NAHCR so that helped in her decision-making. When asked about why others should join NAHCR she said, “NAHCR provides a more in-depth understanding of the unique work we do and offers broader viewpoints of the “why” in our profession. There’s a lot of resources and I’m looking forward to more engagement with all of NAHCR offerings in 2025”. Interested in joining NAHCR? Learn more today at www.nahcr.com
