The state is growing. That does not fix your schedule.
Georgia is one of the fastest growing states in the country, which makes the staffing conversation here different from anywhere in the Midwest or New England. The workforce is not shrinking. It is concentrating. Metro Atlanta pulls people in from every direction, and a facility in Valdosta, Albany, or Waycross is not competing with the hospital one county over so much as with the gravitational pull of a metro four hours north. Growth at the state level does not put anyone on the floor tonight in south Georgia.
Chris runs national healthcare staffing organizations that fill roles in both kinds of market, and he has keynoted state association conferences in eleven states, including LeadingAge Illinois and health care associations in Iowa, Montana, South Dakota, and Colorado, all long-term care audiences with the same distribution problem.

Groups Chris speaks for.
The kinds of Georgia organizations that book a workforce and leadership keynote for an annual conference, an in-service day, or a member education session.
- Georgia Hospital Association in Atlanta, established in 1929 and representing more than 150 hospital and health system members, with professional societies covering nurse leaders and healthcare human resources
- Georgia Health Care Association and Georgia Center for Assisted Living, advocating for the state’s older adults since 1953 and serving skilled nursing centers, assisted living communities, and SOURCE agencies
- LeadingAge Georgia, whose members cover the full range of aging services from adult day and home based services through senior housing, assisted living, continuing care communities, nursing homes, and hospice
- Georgia Primary Care Association, the membership organization for the state’s federally qualified health centers since 1977, which holds its annual conference on Jekyll Island
- State and local SHRM chapters, chambers of commerce, school districts, and universities including Georgia, Georgia Tech, Georgia State, and Georgia Southern
Georgia industries with the same problem.
Healthcare is where Chris operates, but every Georgia employer outside the metro is competing with the metro.
