Healthcare Staffing Plus: Revolutionizing Clinical Recruitment

What is the mission of your company or project?

My story begins as a woman who understands the importance of exceptional healthcare first hand. As a Solo Independent Healthcare Recruiter, I have dedicated my professional life to ensuring patients receive the best care possible.  My passion for this work was not only driven by my professional commitment but by a deeply personal experience.

My mother had always said, "if you don't have your health, you don't have anything!"

These words echoed in my mind as I found my mother unresponsive, suffering from a stroke and heart attack. My mother suffered from numerous medical issues for many years including atrial fibrillation which had been stable for five years but then suddenly spiraled in the late spring and summer of 2022.  

She died in that September.  In and out of the hospital six times that entire late spring and summer.  I took care of her for many years as she had multiple medical issues and got back into healthcare staffing and recruiting in the summer of 2022 all for her as it allowed me the freedom and flexibility to care for her (doctor appts, errands, caring for her at home, etc.,) having my own business, rather than working for an employer.   After everything happened and being 52 years old at the time, I contemplated on sticking this out or doing something else. Took the remainder of 2022 and 2023 to figure it out as it was a very emotional depressing time for me too.  The job market isn't kind to you if you are older!!  I had everything up and running ready to go with Healthcare Staffing Plus, then everything happened.  So needless to say, I feel that this is where God wants me to be and I am doing it in honor of my mother.   

Doing all of this, while also ensuring that I was hiring the best candidates so that patients received high-quality care from the best of the best in the healthcare field.

I meticulously curates candidates using healthcare niche job boards, state medical associations, professional medical organizations, referrals and more. Every candidate is thoroughly screened and credentialed to ensure they are the cream of the crop.  Needle in the haystack.  No skeletons in the closet.

Through dedication and perseverance, this independent healthcare recruiter turned a personal tragedy into an opportunity to improve healthcare for countless others.  My compelling story demonstrates how Healthcare Staffing Plus is committed to solving important problems and changing lives by providing seamless transparent healthcare staffing and recruiting strategies.

Currently, I have 14 staffing partners, who have over 2,000 jobs.  Everything is setup and in place.  Just need the funding to take Healthcare Staffing Plus to the next level.
