Rebekah Mussman, President and CEO of Crete Area Medical Center, was our speaker on Aug. 20. She shared a couple of current programs the hospital is currently engaged in to improve recruitment and retention of staff and partnering with local schools on mental health resources. The first endeavor, Workforce Connections Program, involves filling positions for registered nurses and lab technicians by recruiting potential candidates who would benefit from CAMC paying for their Associates Degree and guaranteed employee at CAMC while staying in the Crete area. The second initiative continues the hospital's efforts to make an impact in local schools by offering free mental health triage at CAMC for parents who need a place to take their child who may be at risk. She said these types of programs are possible with help from the Crete Area Health Care Foundation and being good community partners.
