Medical Money Matters with Jill Arena

In the wake of the pandemic, the healthcare industry faces unprecedented staffing challenges. From the scramble for qualified professionals to the evolving landscape of patient care needs, medical groups nationwide are feeling the pressure. But why exactly is staffing proving to be such a Herculean task, and more importantly, what can we do about it?
