Nova Scotia is investing $1.4 million to support 24 organizations welcoming and retaining healthcare professionals across the province. The grants, provided by the Office of Healthcare Professionals Recruitment (OHPR) Community Fund, will fund projects like multicultural events, social networking opportunities, and mentorship programs. These initiatives aim to attract skilled healthcare workers to Nova Scotia and encourage them to stay long-term. The funding aligns with the government’s Action for Health plan, focusing on community-based healthcare recruitment and retention. The OHPR builds stronger networks to support healthcare professionals settling into new communities by connecting local groups and fostering collaboration.
