“People on the front lines of health care help save lives. We need to
do a better job of ensuring they have skills and career paths. That
is key to improving the quality of care and building new
opportunities for a group too often overlooked. Jobs to Careers
is an important step forward.”
—Barbara Dyer, president and CEO, The Hitachi Foundation.
