Governor Abbott, THECB Release Healthcare Workforce Task Force Recommendations

Press Release

“Training the next generation of healthcare professionals is critical to provide quality medical care and increased access to all Texans. Texas has invested millions in job training grants to help prepare students for high-demand, good-paying jobs in our healthcare industry, but we must do more to address this workforce shortage. As Texas continues to grow, it is critical that we bolster our healthcare industry with a highly skilled workforce that will support the health of Texans and drive our booming economy to even greater heights. I thank the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, Task Force Chair Victoria Ford, and the qualified group of experts, industry leaders, and higher education representatives for tackling our healthcare workforce shortage issue head on. Working together, we will build an even bigger, better healthcare workforce for generations to come.”
