In September, Geisinger announced plans to hire 1,500 medical professionals. It has since hired nearly 2,000 employees across the health system.
System officials say the latest hiring campaign could take more than a year because of specialty positions.
The network has 12 hospitals in 45 Pennsylvania counties and southern New Jersey, up from two hospitals that served 30 Pennsylvania counties 10 years ago.
