Case Study: Ohio Hospital establishes a GI program with Jackson Physician Search

Ohio Hospital hires a gastroenterologist in a rural Ohio GI program with Jackson Physician Search

Ohio Hospital, a small 30-bed facility in a rural community, faced a significant challenge due to a severe shortage of gastroenterologists in the region. With no existing GI program and patients forced to travel over an hour for care, the hospital needed to recruit a specialist to establish a new service line. They partnered with Jackson Physician Search to manage this difficult physician search.

Jackson Physician Search implemented a proactive sourcing strategy, leveraging their national network and regional expertise to identify a qualified candidate. This resulted in the successful hiring of a gastroenterologist who launched the hospital's new GI program, greatly improving local access to care. The client was so satisfied with the outcome that they immediately retained Jackson Physician Search for two additional recruitment searches.
