Geisinger leaders host Korean health education officials

Delegates from the government of South Korea and members of the Council for University College Education met with Geisinger leadership to discuss efforts to address the shortage of healthcare professionals worldwide, especially in nursing. They were guests of Marywood University, which is hosting 25 South Korean nursing students. The students will complete their clinical rotations at Geisinger Community Medical Center and Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center.

“It was an honor to meet these representatives of Korean higher education and exchange ideas about increasing the number of people choosing careers in healthcare,” said Geisinger President and CEO Jaewon Ryu, MD, JD.
