  • Tri-Cities could be training hub for nurses in region

    Some call it the "silver tsunami" -- the coming wave of retirements as members of the baby boomer generation turn 65 and presumably exit the work force.

    Along with more time to play golf or visit with grandchildren, getting older comes with aches and ailments. Those boomers who stop working as doctors, nurses or medical assistants will need the services of the health care workers left behind. In other words, more demand and fewer providers.

    Local health care officials say the Tri-Cities could be better positioned than many communities in the nation when that tsunami hits because of the presence of two local nursing schools graduating the next generation of health workers.
