"The leadership team in Dallas enjoys having a moment to give back to our teams in a fun way," says Regional Vice President Kristi Stark, whose team earned Office of the Quarter for Q1. "Our office leaders come together to provide a breakfast menu that everyone can enjoy and we do all the cooking to show them how much we appreciate them. Our teams work hard each and every day, and this is just a small way we can show our appreciation for their hard work."

The HealthTrust Workforce Solutions Leadership Development Program is designed to cultivate the continuous growth and professional development of our team members through formal mentorship, leadership exercises, presentation skills development and more. Each year, the organization selects a new group of about 20 leaders to complete the Leadership Development Program.

“My biggest takeaway from the program was the importance of behavioral growth,” says Ashlee Joselin, Director of Enterprise Operations, who completed the program in 2019. “You can be a subject matter expert in your field, but if you don’t possess the leadership skills and capabilities to drive your team toward success, you won’t make it very far.”

As a fully-owned subsidiary of HCA Healthcare, HealthTrust Workforce Solutions team members can take advantage of the benefits offered by the nation’s largest health system, including Education Assistance. The Education Assistance program encourages team members to enhance their professional growth by expanding their knowledge, skills and potential for advancement through continued education by offering both tuition reimbursement and student loan assistance.

“Having this kind of support from an employer to assist you in meeting your personal goals and saving you money is priceless,” says Yukary Torres, HWS Senior Program Manager for MSP Operations, who was able to earn her bachelor’s degree in business administration by using the tuition reimbursement benefit. “This opportunity helped me complete a long-time goal I had that was pending all due to financial strain. Having the flexibility to be a full-time employee, mother, and a student is beyond rewarding.”
