  • "I was looking for a change that would allow me to make a difference in a small rural Colorado community.  CPR helped me to put things in motion and guided me through the process.  Serving as a CO rural health primary care provider has been a satisfying both professionally and recreationally.  My wife and I haven't looked back since we left the more urban areas of Colorado!"

  • Designing Inclusive Hiring Practices Data from CRHC’s environmental scan (to be released early 2023), shows that current healthcare professionals believe, an inclusive and diverse recruitment team is the most important factor in recruitment that influences retention. Specifically, building a recruitment team that consists of various positions within the facility and with varying backgrounds both personally and professionally leads to better candidate selection and “buy in” from other staff. An expert in the field of equitable and inclusive hiring, Pin-ya Tseng has outlined how to build diverse recruitment teams via collaborative hiring, non-biased verbiage and objective decision making. Read More
