The nursing job market in Penfield reflects both regional trends and specific community needs. Currently, there’s a consistent demand for registered nurses, with projections estimating the need for an additional 100 to 150 nurses over the next 3-5 years. This growth stems from an aging population and increasing healthcare demands. Currently, the nurse workforce in this area comprises roughly 2,200 professionals, leaving room for new entrants and specialties. Our city is also bolstered by significant demand for per diem and travel nursing roles, particularly during influxes of seasonal tourism in the nearby Finger Lakes region. In contrast to nearby Rochester, where larger healthcare facilities like the University of Rochester Medical Center provide vast opportunities, Penfield has a more localized appeal, featuring smaller clinics and health centers that promote a sense of community and continuity of care, which is particularly attractive for the nursing staff.

Recent investments in our local healthcare services have focused on expanding access to mental health resources and outpatient care specialties.
