Geisinger Health System to hire 2,000 employees

LEWISTOWN — Six months after launching a recruitment campaign to hire 1,500 employees, Geisinger Health System has announced further efforts to hire an additional 2,000 employees in 2017.

The new hires — including both clinical and non-clinical staff — will reach across the system’s footprint, including Bloomsburg, Danville, Shamokin, Harrisburg, Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Lewistown and State College. About half of those positions will be direct caregivers, including registered nurses, advanced practitioners and physicians.

As part of this initiative, Geisinger is recruiting applicants for more than 500 nursing positions — 200 in the central region, 200 in the Northeast, 75 in the Harrisburg market and 50 in the State College market.

Since first announcing its goal to hire 1,500 employees in September 2016, Geisinger has hired nearly 2,000 employees across the health system.

Geisinger employs more than 30,000 people with a medical staff of more than 1,600 employed physicians.
