The Workforce Subcommittee (WSC) develops and implements BPHC’s comprehensive workforce strategy. This strategy helps our partners retrain and hire the staff that brings a new healthcare experience to our patients. The WSC is responsible for recommending recruitment and retention plans to the Executive Committee. The WSC will also oversee the Workforce Communications and Workforce Advisory Workgroups.
