Case Study: Rural Colorado Hospital achieves successful family practitioner recruitment with Jackson Physician Search

Rural Colorado Hospital fills Family Practitioner role in 4 months with Jackson Physician Search

The customer, a rural Colorado hospital, faced significant challenges in recruiting a Family Practitioner with Obstetrics training (FPOB) due to its remote location, a limited candidate pool, and a lack of local accommodations for interviews. These difficulties were compounded by internal upheaval when the hospital's CEO resigned mid-process. The hospital partnered with Jackson Physician Search to manage this critical physician recruitment search.

Jackson Physician Search leveraged its experienced recruiters to navigate these obstacles. The solution involved quickly sourcing a candidate, engaging the hospital's Board President to continue the process after the CEO's departure, and facilitating a highly personalized onsite interview hosted by the Board Chair. Despite further challenges, including the unexpected resignation of an existing FPOB, the recruiter's persistent collaboration with all parties led to the successful placement of a physician four months after her interview, ensuring the community maintained access to quality healthcare.
