As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread, communities are bracing for an exponential rise in cases and – as a result – a surge in medical demand.
The National Center for Disaster Preparedness says that the United States will need tens of thousands of additional healthcare staff in order to effectively fight the virus.

We reached out to our 5,500+ customers to understand how they’re approaching their operations amid the uncertainty – and specifically – if they’re feeling the pressure to hire more staff.
