Open roles. Early turnover. Capable local talent left on the sidelines.
CNAs, patient care techs, medical assistants, phlebotomists, pharmacy techs, and patient access reps keep care moving. Yet credentialing hurdles, rigid schedules, transportation challenges, and thin onboarding often keep qualified South St. Pete residents out—or push new hires out within the first year.
This roundtable brings St. Pete healthcare employers together to compare what actually works: who you hire, how you support them, and what keeps them on your team and moving up.
