As the workforce ages, the demand for healthcare services and skilled workers will rise significantly
What happens when Towson’s population gets older… but we don’t have enough healthcare workers to care for them?
It’s not a distant problem. It’s already happening.
Hospitals are stretched. Senior living communities are competing for talent. Employers are struggling to retain workers while demand for healthcare services rises faster than the pipeline of trained professionals entering the field.
According to a recent study, Maryland will need an additional 40,000 healthcare workers by 2030.
The question is:
Who will step up to solve it?
Join us on June 3rd for the next Towson Growth Summit, where some of the region’s most influential healthcare and workforce leaders will unpack the realities, risks, and opportunities surrounding the aging workforce and the future of healthcare in Baltimore County.
You’ll hear directly from leaders on the front lines, including:
• Mark Beggs, President & CEO, Edenwald Senior Living
• Maria Johnson Darby, COO, Dwyer Workforce Development
• Patrice Kingsley, MBA, Strategic Operations Manager, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield
These leaders aren’t speaking in theories. They’re living the staffing shortages, workforce retention challenges, and growing pressure to care for an aging population every single day.
You’ll learn
• Why the healthcare labor shortage is accelerating faster than most people realize
• What senior living communities and healthcare systems are doing right now to adapt
• How workforce development programs are creating new career pipelines
• Where the biggest opportunities exist for employers, healthcare professionals, and community leaders
• Why Towson and Baltimore County are uniquely positioned to lead on this issue
If you care about the future of healthcare, workforce development, economic growth, or simply the quality of life in our community, this is a conversation you cannot afford to miss.
You’ll Network
And as always, expect high-level networking with local business leaders, executives, policymakers, and innovators shaping Towson’s future.
