About SHG Healthcare: A Unique Approach to Medical Staffing
Stratford Health Group (SHG) Healthcare is a medical staffing agency that stands apart from the rest. Founded by individuals raised in a family of doctors and nurses, SHG is built on a deep connection to the world of medicine. However, the founders chose a different career path, gaining business experience that always led back to healthcare. Their background includes managing medical spas and acting as lead client representatives for healthcare facilities. This unique blend of business acumen and a passion for medicine is what sets SHG Healthcare apart. At SHG, the mission is simple: to care for medicine, not just staff it. This vision reflects in their approach to building partnerships with clinicians and healthcare organizations—treating each one as part of their growing family. As they say, “Join our FAMILY today.”Transparency, Honesty, and Availability
One of the primary concerns for healthcare professionals and facilities when partnering with staffing agencies is trust. SHG addresses this concern by prioritizing transparency, honesty, and availability. Unlike other agencies, SHG strives to offer straightforward solutions without overselling or making empty promises. The company ensures clinicians and clients are fully informed about opportunities, timelines, and services. This commitment to honesty and clarity fosters trust, which is vital in building long-term relationships.
Additionally, SHG’s team is available 24/7, understanding that medicine never sleeps. SHG’s leadership takes pride in being accessible during last-minute emergencies, offering peace of mind to both clinicians and clients.
Competitive Rates and Fairness
SHG Healthcare was founded with the intention of changing the standard for how staffing agencies charge their clients and clinicians. The founders had firsthand experience with unfair rates in the industry, so they committed to doing things differently. SHG prioritizes fairness, offering competitive rates for clinicians while working within the budgets of their clients. The company’s goal is to ensure that partnerships are built on trust and rate fairness. Unlike many agencies that charge high margins—paying providers less while overcharging clients—SHG promises to create sustainable, long-lasting relationships with a fair approach to pricing.
The SHG Portal: Streamlined Access for Clinicians and Clients
One of the standout features of SHG Healthcare is the SHG Portal, a tool designed for convenience and efficiency. Accessible via computer or mobile device, the portal allows clinicians to view their locum schedules, credentials, travel itineraries, and pay stubs. They can also explore open positions and save jobs they are interested in for further information. The SHG Portal makes it easier for clinicians to manage their workload and stay informed.
Clients also benefit from the SHG Portal. The platform offers streamlined credentialing services, easy job sharing, schedule updates, and access to clinician summaries. While personal details are not shared, clients can view clinicians’ professions, specialties, experience, licenses, and background information. This provides clients with a clear understanding of the professionals available to meet their staffing needs.
Building Meaningful Relationships
At SHG Healthcare, relationships matter. The company is committed to fostering meaningful connections with both clinicians and clients. SHG’s goal is to make every partner feel valued, not just like another number. This personal approach, combined with their focus on transparency and fairness, helps SHG build lasting relationships in the healthcare community.
Comprehensive Malpractice Coverage
To ensure peace of mind, SHG Healthcare provides comprehensive malpractice coverage for its clinicians. Their standard coverage is $1 million to $3 million, and they can meet higher coverage requirements in states that mandate them. SHG also sends certificates of insurance to both clinicians and clients during the credentialing process, ensuring everyone has the documentation they need.
