AMN Healthcare Services Inc. is consolidating its physician staffing brands Merritt Hawkins and Staff Care into a single unified business line called AMN Healthcare Physician Solutions.

The integration aims to provide a more cohesive physician experience for hospitals, healthcare systems and clinicians, according to the company.

“Physician staffing shortages can be costly to healthcare organizations, which not only leads to lost revenue but delays in important treatment, long waiting times for patients and even physician burnout,” AMN President and CEO Cary Grace said in a press release. “In the current environment of sustained workforce shortages and continued challenges for healthcare systems, we are thrilled to provide our clients and candidates with a single AMN Healthcare brand experience that will provide further access to high-quality resources and our holistic total talent solutions to address every workforce challenge.”

AMN Healthcare Physician Solutions oversees more than 3,000 physician recruiting assignments annually and places locum tenens, permanent physicians, dentistry and advanced practitioners in hospitals, medical groups, community health centers, telehealth providers and other healthcare entities nationwide.
