Riverview Health in Hamilton County has partnered with Ivy Tech to address the shortage of healthcare workers. This collaboration aims to help the hospital’s workforce acquire new skills and expand their knowledge base to better serve patients and meet the growing demand for healthcare workers.
One success story that has emerged from this collaboration is Katy Learned, a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant at Riverview Health. She started her career as a receptionist with a background in business but always had a passion for patient care. The pandemic further ignited this passion, leading her to pursue a medical assistance license through the opportunities provided by Riverview and Ivy Tech.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 14 percent increase in employment of medical assistants by 2032, showcasing the growing demand for healthcare workers in this field. Recognizing this need, Riverview Health and Ivy Tech embarked on this partnership to address the shortage of workers for medical assistant positions and cater to the critical job openings in their community.
According to Rachel Kartz, the Chancellor of Ivy Tech Hamilton County Campus, such partnerships are crucial to filling job shortages not only in Indiana but also across the nation. By supporting students and equipping the workforce with the necessary skills, they aim to bridge the gap between supply and demand for healthcare workers.
Looking ahead, Riverview Health plans to expand this program with the support of Ivy Tech, emphasizing the importance of private employers investing in their workforce’s education and development. Dave Hyatt, the CEO of Riverview Health, highlights the significance of collaboration between private employers and educational institutions like Ivy Tech to tailor solutions that address the specific needs of organizations and ensure a skilled workforce.
