About the MHA Health Careers Center.

The MHA Health Careers Center was created by the Mississippi Hospital Association in response to the shortages in nursing and allied health careers. These shortages are threatening the delivery of timely and quality healthcare in Mississippi and must be addressed. The Center will provide resources for individuals interested in health careers.

The MHA Health Careers Center will work with healthcare employers to implement strategies to ensure they become the employers of choice in their communities. Some of these practices will include developing career paths for allied health care positions, creating career flexibility within the organization, providing continuous growth opportunities for employees, and ensuring that benefits and salaries are competitive in the labor force.

In response to the many obstacles that are present in today's healthcare environment, the MHA Health Careers Center will provide leadership training opportunities to top level and middle level management. The Center will also prepare them for the challenges of the future. Healthcare leaders will have an opportunity to participate in education opportunities that include organizational structure assessments, utilization of human resource management systems, advocacy issues, reimbursement issues and privacy mandates.
