The Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce Healthcare Council connects and advances the healthcare community and its related industries in the region through the effective mobilization of resources to close gaps, develop the talent pipeline, and ultimately better health outcomes for all residents.
The Council has several current initiatives designed to help move the community forward:
Education: The Committee partners with several healthcare education foundations to enhance the quality and reach of PreK-12 healthcare education in the region and post-secondary programs locally.
Industry Feedback: The Committee regularly collects and publishes industry feedback on career roles and workforce availability.
Workforce: The Committee continues to define pathways for people and students interested in a healthcare career to include internships, educational programs, retraining, and military transition.
