Healthcare industry professionals are being lobbied to help the change agent team at Kinexus to continue to make a difference in the manner in which they help key industry sectors to not only survive, but to thrive as well. The Benton Harbor-based agency is rolling out the second installment of sector surveys with the intent to measure the health of Southwest Michigan’s high-demand industries.
Healthcare is the next focus of high-demand industries surveyed and Kinexus is once again turning to the experts who are impacted directly for answers. These surveys will be focused on the Manufacturing, Healthcare, Agriculture, and Hospitality industries and will provide information on key trends and performance within Berrien, Cass, and Van Buren Counties.
Kinexus CEO Todd Gustafson says, “We know that we have 4 high-demand industries that are fundamental to our region’s economic prosperity, but we wanted to take a deeper dive in understanding their current needs.” As he points out, “This survey will help us identify specific opportunities and challenges within the healthcare industry.”
The Healthcare industry survey is the second survey to be launched and it is now open from today, October 20 to Wednesday, November 23rd. All healthcare and social service providers in the tri-county area are encouraged to visit the survey by clicking this link:
