Shaping Workforce Policy to Improve Health and Economic Opportunity for All
Healthforce Center's Policy Advisory is a trusted advisor to California state, regional, and national leaders, providing expert guidance and community-informed research that accelerates cross-sector health workforce policy solutions.
Guided by values of social justice and the power of rigorous research, our work aims to transform structures of exclusion and disparity toward a future workforce rooted in equitable community-driven policy solutions.
Community-Informed Workforce Research and Policy
Our health workforce policy research is shaped by state and regional workforce knowledge and is responsive to the evolving needs of our dynamic policy landscape. Our California-centered policy work, supported by The California Endowment, is guided by a Pathfinder Council to ensure community input and advocacy drives our research priorities.
Current policy priorities include increasing retention, addressing inequities in economic opportunities, and ensuring equitable artificial intelligence (AI) design, training, and integration in the health care workforce.
