a FQHC in Alabama places two physicians in under six months with Jackson Physician Search

A Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) in Alabama faced a critical shortage after losing two primary care physicians who served its vulnerable patient population. Needing to act quickly, the clinic partnered with Jackson Physician Search to conduct a national physician recruitment search for their replacements.

Jackson Physician Search implemented a personalized strategy, beginning with an on-site visit to deeply understand the clinic's culture and needs. Their Search Consultant leveraged a digital network to identify and connect with qualified candidates across the country. The vendor successfully placed two physicians within six months: a local pathologist with primary care experience and a New York resident requiring a J-1 waiver, who was impressed by the clinic's work-life balance and mission.
