Happy National Health Center Week! 🎉

Community health centers show up for people every day, often with fewer resources and bigger caseloads than anywhere else in the system. That takes a special kind of team.

To every provider and staff member keeping a health center running this week (and every week), THANK YOU. Your work matters more than a headline can capture.

62.5% of anesthesiology physician searches were still unfilled after a full year. 🔍

That figure comes from the Association for Advancing Physician and Provider Recruitment, cited by the American Medical Association, two organizations with no staffing services to sell. The same data shows pediatrics at 46.3% unfilled and emergency medicine at 45.2%, both after a full year of searching.

The AAPPR's own CEO put it plainly: this isn't just someone going on leave or an extended vacation anymore. It's a structural part of staffing in certain specialties.

When the organization that represents physician recruiters themselves is the one saying permanent hiring alone isn't keeping up, that's a different kind of signal than a staffing company saying it. 🪑

If a search has been open too long, let's talk about closing that gap. Send us a message.

Quick question for our healthcare leaders: how many hours did your team spend this week just managing locum paperwork? ⏳

Fielding calls from staffing agencies. Reviewing candidates. Building schedules by hand. Double checking invoices. Chasing reimbursement documentation.

None of that is patient care, but all of it eats your week.

This is one of the most overlooked costs in healthcare staffing, because it never shows up as a clean line item. It just shows up as exhaustion.

A managed program is built to hand that time back to your team.

If your team is buried in locum paperwork, contact us today.

New research is showing something we've seen first hand: locum tenens has stopped being a backup plan and started being part of the actual strategy. 🧩

According to Staffing Industry Analysts, more health systems are building locum coverage into their long term workforce strategy instead of scrambling for it when a gap opens up, especially in primary care, emergency medicine, and surgical specialties.

Physician shortages, burnout, and slower permanent hiring timelines are the reasons behind it. SIA also notes that firms who move fast through credentialing and work well within MSP and VMS programs are gaining a real edge, since health systems are prioritizing speed and continuity over just filling a seat.

If your organization hasn't built locum coverage into the long term plan yet, let's change that. Send us a message. 🤝

You became a CRNA, PA, NP, or physician to take care of patients, not to spend your week chasing a recruiter for paperwork. 🧑‍⚕️

If you've worked locum tenens before, you already know the frustrations: slow credentialing, vague contracts, recruiters who disappear after the first phone call.

It doesn't have to be that way. The right agency gives you real options, clear answers, and a consultant who's still there after you've signed.

What's mattered most to you in a locum tenens experience? We'd genuinely love to know.

59 CRNAs. 15 MDs. Less than six months. ⚡

That's the real pace one health system needed when they expanded their anesthesia program from 17 to 28 sites, roughly the equivalent of adding 21 full-time providers almost overnight.

Anesthesia and CRNA staffing moves fast, and credentialing is usually the bottleneck. When recruiting and credentialing work together instead of separately, timelines that used to take months can shrink dramatically.

If your team is planning an anesthesia expansion, we'd love to talk through what's realistic. Visit velosource.com.

Different rates. Different contracts. A stack of invoices for the same week of coverage. Sound familiar? 🗂️

This is one of the most common headaches we hear about from hospital and clinic leaders, and it's almost always fixable.

A Managed Staffing Program brings everything under one standard: one set of terms, one rate structure, one invoice. No more chasing five different vendors to figure out what you actually spent.

It's not about doing less. It's about finally seeing it all clearly. 🔗

If this sounds a little too familiar, send us a message. We'd love to help simplify it. Visit https://www.velosource.com/.

22 providers. Then 250+. ✅

That's the real growth one health system saw in their internal float pool over four years, and it now covers almost half of their locums needs from within their own walls.

The shift happened when they moved off whiteboards and spreadsheets and gave providers an easy way to see open shifts and grab them.

A float pool isn't just a backup plan. Done right, it becomes your first call before you ever pick up the phone with an outside agency.
