2. Contact staffing agencies that specialize in placing technicians into health care facilities
3. Organize a job fair and invite local professionals to attend
4. Offer a $1,000 signing bonus to anyone who joins the organization and stays for at least 180 days.

The organization might want to check with any technical schools in the area and partner with
