Big pay raises attract health care applicants to Family Health Center in Kalamazoo
Unlike most of the help wanted signs dotted around town, the “fine print” on Family Health Center’s new billboard promises jobs that start at $21 an hour or more — not that possibly wind up there someday.
The nonprofit health clinic serving citizens of Kalamazoo County has implemented a sweeping change in employee compensation that puts Family Health Center on the leading edge of pay practices in health care.
The move is designed to enhance Family Health Center’s ability to recruit and retain the very best health care workers, says Denise Crawford, President and CEO.
It’s working.
