Lake Regional Health System is offering relocation assistance and signing bonuses for certain positions.Â
Vice President of Human Resources Tom Williams said one reason they are offering incentives is to stand apart from business around them. It s Lake of the Ozarks, so we are preparing as a community for our busy season which means most of our local businesses are ramping up for our visitors for the summer, so it makes finding staff more challenging, Williams said.
He said they are looking to fill 80 positions and are searching locally and out of the area for new employment. I don t find professional staff here locally, Williams said. There s not another hospital to go recruit an ICU nurse here, so we do spread our wings and often times we do national level recruiting for professional level positions.

Missouri will pause use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine as recommended by federal authorities who are investigating six instances of blood clots that have arisen after its use.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration issued the recommendation Tuesday morning “out of an abundance of caution.”
Shortly after, Randall Williams, director of the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, issued an order barring the vaccine’s administration effective immediately.
“In an abundance of caution and as per federal guidelines, we are pausing vaccination with Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine until further notice in Missouri,” Williams said in a statement.
