Health Services Industry Overview

Health Services is one of the largest industry sectors in Snohomish County, providing thousands of local jobs. Three out of seven occupations projected to grow the fastest in Snohomish County are concentrated in the health services sector. This industry sector consists of the following segments: hospitals, nursing & residential care facilities, offices of physicians, offices of dentists, home healthcare services, offices of other health practitioners, outpatient care centers, other ambulatory healthcare services, and medical & diagnostic laboratories.

 

The Health Services sector provides some of the highest salaries in the county, with 8 of the top 10 locally highest paying occupations coming from this sector. Locally, the health services sector has seen some of the largest skills gaps and workforce shortages, where there are more job openings than there are qualified applicants to fill the jobs. Organizations like the local sector skills panel, the Health Services Careers Partnership (HSCP), work to address such workforce shortages.
