St. Louis Care Alliance: a collaboration of best-in-class employers

The “Great Resignation” and COVID-19 reshaped the way people think about work, leading to staffing shortages in many industries, healthcare being the one most severely impacted. This has been especially hard on small business owners, innovative start-ups and most service industry related human service businesses.?

Then there are the burnout and mental health issues.? The pandemic has placed a significant toll on existing healthcare workers. About 3 in 10 healthcare workers considered leaving their profession, and about 6 in 10 said pandemic-related stress had harmed their mental health because of the shortages. Will they come back or be are they gone forever?

There is still an increasing demand.? The the aging population, the rise in chronic diseases, and advancements in care delivery have increased the demand for healthcare services far above the normal levels needed to obtain best outcomes. Healthcare businesses still struggle to attract and retain all the staff they would need to deliver the most desirable services.

Financial challenges are another factor.? Staffing shortages have driven an increase in wages forcing these businesses to invest significant resources to recruit and retain staff. This has put hardships on the management of many healthcare providers, who might have already been on the brink.?

While these factors have led to disruptions in essential services and even closures of some healthcare entities, the St. Louis Care Alliance members have been facing those challenges face to face while raising the bar.?
