SLATE Announces Healthcare Hiring Fair for Former South City Hospital Employees

Following the sudden closure to South City Hospital, the St. Louis Agency on Training and Employment (SLATE) will hold a healthcare job fair this Friday, August 11, 2023, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m, to support former South City Hospital workers in finding new career opportunities. The job fair will take place in the 1st Floor Conference Room of 1520 Market Street, St. Louis, MO 63103.

Confirmed employers in attendance include: CareSTL Health; People's Healthcare Centers; Washington University; BJC; Mercy Medical Centers; Affinia Healthcare; SSM; Family Care Health Centers; Bethesda, V.A. Hospital; the City of St. Louis; and At Home Care. While this event will support former South City Hospital employees, all jobseekers looking to break into the healthcare industry are invited to participate.
