Vermont Health Network fills critical oncology role in 110 days with Jackson Physician Search

Vermont Health Network faced a significant challenge filling a critical oncology role at its rural Plattsburgh facility. The location was a major obstacle for most candidates, and the departure of two physicians had left gaps in care that were being filled by expensive temporary staff. They partnered with the recruitment firm Jackson Physician Search to find a permanent solution.

Jackson Physician Search implemented a strategic search to identify a candidate whose personal and professional goals aligned with the rural community. Their senior consultant successfully recruited a highly experienced oncologist and worked with the health network to overcome credentialing hurdles. As a result, Vermont Health Network filled the critical vacancy in just 110 days, securing a permanent physician who greatly improved care continuity for the community.
