Dialogue with the Fed - Beyond Today's Financial Headlines

The health care industry stands as a pivotal economic anchor, significantly impacting both metropolitan and rural areas. With more than six million people employed by hospitals, the industry ranks as the sixth-largest employer nationally. But as health care evolves, so do questions about its impact on the existing workforce as well as those seeking to reskill and join this thriving field.

On Dec. 16, join us for a special Dialogue with the Fed event that delves into research about health care trends regarding its workforce and AI. Nicole Summers-Gabr, a senior researcher with the Community Development team at the St. Louis Fed, will give a presentation exploring the transformative potential of AI, its current adoption rates and the newest data on “opportunity occupations”—careers that require less than four years of experience, but pay above the median wage.

Following her presentation, Senior Vice President and Louisville Regional Executive Seema Sheth will lead a discussion and Q&A session with a panel of health care leaders:

Sondra Davis, chief human resources officer, North Mississippi Health Services
Dr. Alexander Garza, chief community health officer, SSM Health
Jess Walker, HR business partner, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Institute for Community Health Innovation

This hybrid event is free and open to the public, but registration is required to attend. A complimentary breakfast and validated parking will be provided for in-person attendees. Virtual participants will receive detailed login instructions as the event date nears.
