Hospitals, more than mere structures, are the bedrock of our communities. From the welcoming faces at the front desk to the skilled hands in the operating room, it’s the unwavering dedication of the hospital staff that keeps these institutions thriving.
OnCall Solutions is honored again this year to mark National Hospital Week, a time to recognize and appreciate you, the hospital staff who tirelessly deliver essential services to countless patients across the nation.
The American Hospital Association sponsors this weeklong celebration each year. We’re proud to participate in the AHA’s #WeAreHealthcare social media campaign to show support for the more than 7 million healthcare employees across the country. From physicians to food services and human resources to environmental services, we see the role each of you plays in delivering compassionate care in our hospitals.
As a trusted medical staffing and hospital practice partner for facilities in Pennsylvania and in many other states, we’ve witnessed firsthand the immense challenges of the past few years. The COVID-19 pandemic, a global crisis of unprecedented scale, pushed hospitals to their limits, resulting in a significant loss of healthcare pros. The departure of approximately 117,000 physicians, 53,000 nurse practitioners, and 100,000 registered nurses between 2020 and 2023, as reported by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, is a testament to the toll this crisis has taken on our industry.
While the demand for quality patient care continues to rise, the industry faces a potential shortage of 86,000 physicians by 2036. Hospitals have had to do more with less, especially in recent years, making already strenuous jobs ever more challenging.
This week, we not only celebrate the rich history and achievements of our industry but also recognize the resilience required to overcome its ongoing challenges. Our commitment to you remains steadfast—OnCall Solutions will remain your dedicated medical staffing and hospital practice partner.
