OAHCR is a statewide organization
of professionals who have joined together to:
1. Promote and exchange sound and ethical principles and values of
recruitment
2. Network/share pertinent information on recruitment
and retention of healthcare professionals.
*OAHCR had its beginning in
the Spring of 1978. A group of nurse recruiters in Oklahoma City and
Tulsa areas met to discuss mutual concerns and share information.
They found the meeting beneficial to all. These Recruiters encouraged
others to join this organization and contribute their expertise.
This group has now become
the Oklahoma Association of Health Care Recruiters, reflecting the
varied fields of recruitment in today’s healthcare environment.
Many OAHCR members have also
found membership in the National Association of Healthcare Recruitment
(NAHCR) to be a valuable resource in this field. OAHCR is recognized
chapter of NAHCR.
