To keep up with increased demand for home health care during the pandemic, LHC Group wants to hire at least 12 health care positions in Northeast Florida.
Joann Sorensen, associate vice president of sales for LHC Group in Northeast Florida, said that number could change based on demand. She said there are opportunities for more registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, physical therapists, social workers and certified nursing assistants.
CNA positions are continuously hiring to keep up with demand for Apex’s private duty nursing, she said.
Those patients require more basic care, including bathing, cooking, cleaning and getting dressed.
This year, Sorensen said her division has hired more than 60 employees. As home health care becomes more accessible and desirable to patients, she expects LHC Group’s presence to continue to grow in the region.
