JOHNSON CITY, Tenn (WJHL) – Ballad Health is looking for retired personnel to return due to the workload increase and shortages caused by the resurgence of Covid-19.
Ballad states on their website that they are looking for retired RNs, LPNs and respiratory therapists to help with non-bedside duties such as discharge planning and care support.
A spokesperson for Ballad says so far they have brought 10 former workers back into the workforce.

Ballad is looking to fill positions at the following locations:
- Ballad Health corporate transfer center
- Bristol Regional Medical Center
- Franklin Woods Community Hospital
- Greeneville Community Hospital
- Holston Valley Medical Center
