Bringing diversity to health care
By Ruth Cronin, Cincinnati Enquirer
Sixteen students recently completed a hospital-based training program designed to bolster diverse staffing in the Cincinnati area’s healthcare workforce, which has only a small fraction of Black or Latino workers.
In May they completed TriHealth’s School to Work program, a partnership between TriHealth and Cincinnati Public Schools that gives students the chance to work in the Good Samaritan Hospital for a two-year period to explore health care, build job skills, and contribute to their community, hospital officials say.
