The health care workforce is facing labor shortages in multiple professions, with the shortage of nurses being particularly acute.

Penn LDI and a panel of experts discussed this multifaceted issue to explore how stakeholders, including policymakers, health care organizations, and educational institutions might work together to solve it.
