The University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, TX has been forced to lay off 3,800 qualified healthcare employees in the wake of Hurricane Ike. Most of the jobs will come from John Sealy Hospital, which is the island’s only hospital. Several of the campuses’ buildings were flooded by up to 8 feet of water, with the hospital’s kitchen, blood bank and radiology department taking the worst damage.

Unfortunately, the Galveston job market cannot handle this influx of healthcare employees, which means that most, if not all, of the 3,800 people included in the layoff will be forced to relocate. To assist in this time of great crisis, we’ve teamed up with The Houston Chronicle to publish recruitment messages from healthcare employers across the nation. If you have any opportunities for this highly trained and highly experienced pool of candidates, now is the time to tell them.
