“The US will need to hire 2.3 million new health care workers by 2025 in order to adequately take care of its aging population,” CNN tells us. We know that our population is aging, including the nurses who care for the elderly. In fact, one-third of them are approaching retirement age. The bottom line is that there are not enough skilled healthcare workers to meet demand. That means hospitals, providers, and agencies are going to be fighting for talent.

About Easterseals
Since 1927, Easterseals Bay Area (ESBA) has been leading the way to ensure individuals and families affected by disabilities can live, learn, work and play to their full potential. The organization’s aim is to expand access and affordability for services in the lives of children with disabilities and their families.
ESBA has been a leader in addressing a sensitive and growing challenge among American children and their families. One in every 59 children in the U.S. is diagnosed with autism, according to the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC). In response to the California Autism Insurance Law – SB 946 – passed in 2011, ESBA partnered with health organizations, leading technology firms and businesses to meet the unprecedented demand for behavioral health service in Northern California.
“Since our services are predominantly home- and community-based, most of our clinicians are mobile. Our behavioral interventionists often go into our clients’ homes and provide our programs directly in the child’s or the adult’s environment,” says Jeff Hallett, vice president of product management at Easterseals Bay Area.
