Travel nurses are growing in popularity, with a 19 percent increase in demand expected by 2022. HealthTrust Workforce Solutions’ Vice President of Travel, Tim Bollinger, weighs in on three reasons why healthcare facilities should consider utilizing the talents of travel nurses.  

Travel recruiter Ashley Parker is our next corporate HealthTrust Hero! Ashley joined our team three years ago in our sourcing department and moved to our travel division less than a year later.   

“I truly enjoy coming to work every day,” Ashley says with a smile. “I love getting to know new people and that no two days are the same.”

While the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Report revealed that U.S. payrolls lost 30,000 jobs in September, the healthcare sector continued to display steady growth, adding 22,500 jobs last month. The below-trend national job creation was likely impacted by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma.

We would like to welcome Shaun McCamant, MSN, RN, as our Chief Nursing Officer of Clinical Operations!

Shaun joins us from HCA’s MidAmerica division, where she most recently served as the Chief Nursing Officer for Lakeview Regional Medical Center. Along with a track record of exceptional healthcare performance, she brings more than 25 years of healthcare experience and nearly two decades of nursing leadership within the HCA family to the role.  

As our CNO, Shaun will strengthen our unified clinical vision and mission. She and her team of Clinical Operations Directors will work to promote clinical excellence and ensure clinical governance across our organization, making it easier to do business with HealthTrust.  

There is nothing quite like the crisp fall air that signals the arrival of autumn. And what better way to start a new season than with a new travel nursing assignment to a fresh destination! We’ve talked to our travel recruiters across the organization and compiled a list of their top destination recommendations.

Please join us in congratulating Christina Hall, who was recently promoted to Assistant Vice President of Enterprise Operations!

In her new role, Christina will identify areas where the business may be operating inefficiently and implement solutions to help the company run more smoothly. This entails meeting with the leaders of each of our departments and field offices, gathering their feedback, and utilizing the talents of her skilled team of individuals to improve the company’s operating performance.     

“My job is to make this company easier to do business with and for,” says Christina.

HealthTrust Workforce Solutions has recently experienced tremendous expansion across all lines of business. We could not have achieved this growth without the amazing teamwork from our staff. 

HealthTrust team members at our corporate headquarters celebrated the return of football season and the expansion of our Sunrise office! Hot dogs and popcorn were available in our new kitchen, and employees were invited to wear apparel representing their favorite football teams. 

In any disaster, there are critical healthcare needs that must be addressed. When crisis situations arise, medical professionals consistently demonstrate their selfless dedication to improving the lives of others by answering the call to serve.  It is truly during times of crisis that the heart of healthcare shines most brightly. 

In this second edition of Clinical Connection, we'd like to spotlight some of the ways that our healthcare teams rose to action in the recent wake of Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma. 

September 18 – 24 is National Staffing Employee Week, a time to celebrate the contributions of workers who utilize staffing firms for their career opportunities. We would like to sincerely thank all of the clinicians who have chosen to work with HealthTrust. 

HealthTrust Workforce Solutions is among the top 10 largest healthcare staffing agencies in the country, according to Staffing Industry Analysts. Our staffing professionals have placed more than 28,000 clinicians at more than 1,500 partner facilities nationwide. Although we are known for being an affiliate of HCA, our clinicians also have access to thousands of jobs at non-HCA facilities from coast to coast.
