The emergence of UC Merced will be a boost for all of the local businesses. The government has been very cooperative and open to change to improve the health, safety and business opportunities within the community. Like others in the healthcare industry, we have needs for specialty areas like nursing and technical people. The people here are very experienced, educated and dedicated. Our turnover rate is low for the industry.
People have a strong work ethic and are devoted to the service of their patients.
Business leaders are working together for economic development. Because UC Merced is coming, there's a greater emphasis on growth - not just growth, but appropriate growth for the future. The community is advancing into an arena where great effort is being made in work force preparation. The workforce here tends to be very, very loyal. There is great availability of entry-level employees and turnover is limited.
