Currently, the nurse workforce in Voorhees is estimated to be around 500 RNs, showcasing a good mix of specialties within the local healthcare scene. One of the standout features is the community's reliance on per diem nursing roles, particularly in peak summer months when hospitalizations tend to spike due to increased activity and seasonal illnesses.
