On this episode of The Medical Alley Podcast, we dive into one of the most urgent challenges facing our industry — our workforce. From shortages across clinical roles to the growing demand for skilled digital and technical talent, the strength of our future healthcare system truly depends on the people who power it.

To help us unpack the issue, we welcome [Dr. Sally Saba](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-sally-saba-mba-01838710/), president of the Medtronic Foundation and Chief Inclusion and Diversity Officer at Medtronic.
