This survey is designed to collect
information from HRSA-funded health centers regarding their current
workforce. This baseline data is essential in demonstrating the
effectiveness of recruitment efforts over the next year for
returning veterans, many of whom have trained as health care
providers and/or administrators during their time in the service.
The survey will help assess how health centers have filled recent
vacancies, whether the availability of veterans to join the health
center workforce is impacting their hiring efforts, and what
additional efforts might improve health center recruitment at a
critical time of expansion in the nation's health care safety
net.
