We discussed our organizations’ varied approaches to meeting existing needs and how we plan to respond. We had the opportunity to speak and collaborate with our fellow health care HR professionals — a primary reason for being ASHHRA members.

Healthcare Finance COVID-19 revealed our national weaknesses in healthcare — an interconnected reliance on the supply chain, for one. It also showed our individual strengths and resilience.
