The hospital’s 2,000 employees often commute from Columbus, Dayton and Cincinnati. The housing is designed to incentivize employees to relocate.

“As we’ve recruited physicians, recruited nurses, front-line staff, even executives, one of the challenges has been to get folks to relocate to the community,” Mercy Health-Springfield President Adam Groshans told WVXU. “And that creates challenges with retention.”

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
