Georgia hospitals are in line for millions in federal funding to hire more health care workers and ensure hiring diversity.The money is estimated at nearly $500 million a year and will go to 21 teaching hospitals across the state.“The pandemic has put unprecedented pressure on all our teams and has made our staffing challenges even worse,” said Shayne George, CEO of Memorial Health in Savannah.Many staff nurses have left for jobs with private temporary agencies where pay was higher.Dr. Bryce Gartland, co-chief of clinical operations at Emory Healthcare, said the money will help train the next generation of nurses

Southeast Georgia has St. Simons Island, the Okefenokee Swamp, four state parks and job openings.

Southeast Georgia Health System has scheduled three hiring events in the coming weeks “to give interested applicants an opportunity to learn more about the Health System and available RN, LPN and CNA positions.
