U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) visited Stony Brook University on Long Island to highlight the need for more workforce development programs in the medical field. She said the pandemic has been hard on hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
In a letter to her congressional colleagues, she wants $67 million in federal funding for healthcare workforce development programs.
“They desperately need reinforcements. Staff are physically and emotionally burnt out and hospitals across the entire state have been working with skeleton crews. More than 5 million New Yorkers live in primary care health professional shortage areas,” said Gillibrand. “If we don’t act, the problem will continue to grow.”
Gillibrand said the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated a shortage in healthcare workers. The Association of American Medical Colleges estimates a nationwide shortfall in doctors due to stress from the pandemic, and New York alone is projected to lose more than 39,000 registered nurses by 2030, according to state health officials.
The money would be allocated to Area Health Education Centers, regional hubs that help with student recruitment, job creation for recent graduates and increase diversity in the medical field. There are 250 education centers nationwide, nine of which are in New York. Gillibrand said more funding would provide the resources necessary to cope with the current pandemic and ongoing staff shortages.

Gillibrand is one of the clowns responsible for the shortage, now expects the American Taxpayer to pay for the stupidity.....
“current pandemic and ongoing staff shortages”
No mention of vaccine mandates here. The six media giants have their orders; the blackout continues.
I wonder how common surge alerts are becoming in NYS ERs now...
If vaxxed staff are still being tested regularly for CoupFlu...
And what the nosocomial infection rate for CoupFlu is in NYS...
Bet Gillibrand doesn’t wonder about any I’d that.
Democrat politicians combined with the enemedia equals insurgent propaganda combatants on the information and political battlefield.
This was pre-planned from the beginning of this scamdemic.
In a just world there would be Covid Trials and swift hangings.
This is what the devious replacement and reset looks like.
The work force they tried so hard to eliminate with vaccine mandates. Build back better with 3rd world witch doctors
Government creates a problem and then demands more government to fix the problem. democrats are the enemy, folks.
Government destroyed industry replaced with government industry.
Fascism much ?
They are destroying everything in our country. The term healthcare is now a misnomer. Our hospitals are about money first and foremost. Most physicians have sold their practices to the hospitals and are now only employees. They do what they are told, or else. Ever notice life expectancy is dropping very rapidly in our country?
Seems a stupid time to be saying, “Get jabbed, or get gone”, then.
Just as I said. Firing a huge segment of the healthcare workforce was the preliminary to government takeover. They pretend to build it up again, but in reality are grabbing more and more control over it.
While to a great degree the federal government’s mandate contributes to the health care provider shortages in NY and elsewhere, it is not the Federal government’s responsibility nor within the Feds purview to control healthcare in individual states. There is a 10th amendment for a reason, but then this is one amendment among many that the politicians have chosen to ignore. Few state governors have the courage to tell the Feds to go pound sand! Abbott and DeSantis notwithstanding.
Is there really such a thing as Federal Funds?
Where I sit the only thing that could be called Federal Funds would be what comes out of the printing press that is NOT related in some way to your pocket or mine.
...and they should be rightly called counterfeit Federal Funds.
Few state governors have the courage to tell the Feds to go pound sand!
Unfortunate in spades. It is generally accepted that the people would rise up against them based on potential financial Fed pushback should they attempt to tell the Feds to pound sand.
The commies love national healthcare because it gives the state control of our bodies. Just like the vaccine mandates.
