Hospital executives on Wednesday will present their proposal the Health Services Cost Review Commission, the state’s hospital rate-setting agency. Executives will ask the board to fund the $40 million program through a quarter-percent increase to hospital rates. The board is expected to make a decision in October.
The plan calls for hospitals to hire and train 1,000 workers from low-income, high-unemployment neighborhoods, an effort that hospital executives say would help address unemployment and poor health in poor neighborhoods. Jobs could include entry-level positions such as cleaning and patient transport that would be attainable to people with limited education and criminal records.

Make them just like the White House.
THAT WILL COVER ALL THE CRACK BABIES IN PGH THAT WOULD OTHERWISE GO TO PATIENTS THAT NEED HELP.
Don't most employees have to be trained? Seems they just want everyone else to foot the bill. They are saying it will cost 4k to train each employee? That is nonsense!
Most will stub their toe at work, claim they can't walk right, it hurts to stand, and they have serious leg pain.
Go from welfare to disability.
that's how it works.
Ask the HR director at Perdue.
