The state already decided the answer is why.
South Carolina is ahead of most states on how it frames this problem. The South Carolina Hospital Association runs an initiative built around transforming the healthcare work experience and a leadership development series organized around why people lead. That is not a pay-scale conversation or a recruiting funnel conversation. It is a meaning conversation, and it is the exact ground Chris works on. A state that has already named the problem that way does not need a speaker to introduce the idea. It needs one who can take it from a program name to something a unit manager does on a Thursday.
Chris runs national healthcare staffing organizations and has keynoted state association conferences in eleven states, including LeadingAge Illinois and health care associations in Iowa, Montana, South Dakota, and Colorado.
