Case Study: an Academic Children’s Hospital in a Kentucky Metro recruits two physician executives with Jackson Physician Search

Academic Children’s Hospital in a Kentucky Metro fills 2 physician executive roles after 5 years with Jackson Physician Search

The customer, an academic children’s hospital in a Kentucky metro, had struggled for over five years to fill a Pediatric Gastroenterology Division Chief role and for over a year to fill a Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Division Chief role. They partnered with the vendor, Jackson Physician Search, and its Director of Physician Executive Search to overcome these recruitment challenges.

Jackson Physician Search implemented a solution using strategic digital outreach to both active and passive candidates, leveraging an extensive database and a network of specialty job boards. This approach successfully recruited two long-awaited physician executives, ending the five-year search for a Pediatric Gastroenterology Chief and filling the Hematology-Oncology Chief role. The placements provided both divisions with the leaders they needed for lasting success.
