The Delaware Population Consortium and the University of Delaware’s Institute of Public Administration recently held a workshop examining the effects of an older population on the state’s infrastructure. At that workshop was Executive Director Tim Gibbs, who discussed the demographics of the healthcare workforce the Academy/DPHA has been studing through our Delaware Health Force project, and what our workforce might look like in the coming years.
