Central New York, along with the rest of the state and nation, is witnessing shortages in health professionals that have reached a crisis in some areas. Two recent reports have confirmed what the health care industry has already been experiencing for a number of years - a health care workforce shortage. In fact, workforce projections for the future only indicate a greater need for a number of both health professionals and para-professionals in both the hospital and long-term care settings.
