Los Angeles County
Extends Invitation to Medical Personnel Displaced by Natural
Disasters
Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe announced
today that the Board of Supervisors approved his motion to extend an
employment invitation to medical professionals impacted and
displaced by the recent natural disasters to hit the United States.
As part of the motion, the Los Angeles County Medical Association (LACMA)
will work with other regional medical groups to determine if there
is any interest by these displaced professionals to work in Los
Angeles County. LACMA will also identify any steps that must be
taken to quickly license these medical professionals to work in
California. A report is expected back before the Board of
Supervisors in 30 days.
“My hope is that we will allow quality doctors and nurses who have
been uprooted from their homes to quickly find work within our
healthcare system,” said Supervisor Knabe. “This is a win-win
situation. These displaced healthcare professionals will have quick
access to a job and we will be getting experienced medical
professionals.”
