SUMMARY:Workforce as Strategy: A Practical Guide to Attract and Retain Key Personnel
DESCRIPTION:One of the biggest and most expensive challenges rural hospitals face today is turnover among clinical and executive staff – a cycle that disrupts patient care\, drains budgets\, and undermines long-term stability. Traditional workforce initiatives often focus on training pipelines and education but rarely address the operational realities driving turnover: housing shortages\, compensation gaps\, and benefits packages that don’t leverage local care networks. \nIn this webinar\, Gingham Solutions\, a new company formed by established NOSORH partners Wintergreen\, United Professional Benefits\, and Ameritas\, will share practical financial strategies designed specifically for rural providers. \nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify practical financial strategies — including deferred compensation\, self-funded health plans\, and housing finance models — to strengthen clinical and executive recruitment and retention.\nEvaluate how to structure long-term incentive packages that address key drivers of rural workforce turnover.\nAlign workforce initiatives with Rural Hospital Transformation Program (RHTP) priorities to support sustainable staffing and long-term financial stability.\n\nJoin us to explore how your organization can move from constant recruitment to a culture of long-term retention and community-rooted care. \nSpeakers \nJonathan Pantenburg\, MBA\nPrincipal · Wintergreen and Gingham\nJonathan Pantenburg is a nationally recognized healthcare management consultant who advises non-profit\, profit\, and governmental entities through complex issues\, including financial analysis\, provider alignment and designations\, cost reduction\, mergers and acquisitions\, provider contracting\, and operational improvement.
