Our work in action: From coverage gap to strategic partnership
LocumTenens.com recently connected with a facility that was facing a critical gap in its primary care coverage following the departure of a family practice provider.
Working closely with the facility, our recruiter assessed their specific needs by leveraging her knowledge of state practice laws and credentialing requirements to provide qualified candidates. Within one week, we identified a highly skilled nurse practitioner who matched the clinic’s criteria. After just one presentation, the facility felt confident moving forward, and the clinician began a four-month assignment as a family practice NP.
The placement was a success, laying the foundation for an ongoing partnership that meets the facility’s coverage needs while allowing them to maintain continuity of care for their patients. Additionally, the experience opened the door to an expanded partnership with their parent company, allowing LocumTenens.com to place additional primary care providers at the facility.

From the facility:
I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding partnership we have with LocumTenens.com, particularly with Elizabeth Prater and Rachel Dickson. From the moment we first connected, it was clear that we would have a great collaboration.
Elizabeth and Rachel have consistently demonstrated their ability to find quality candidates quickly, which has been incredibly valuable for us. They have been instrumental in placing locum providers in our clinics, ensuring that our staffing needs are met efficiently.
Both Elizabeth and Rachel listen attentively to our requirements, provide us with top-notch candidates and ensure a smooth process from the initial presentation to confirmation and credentialing. Their dedication and professionalism make them the first firm we seek out whenever we have openings.
Their support has been crucial in helping us provide quality patient care, especially during times when our clinics have been short-staffed. We deeply appreciate their efforts and value the strong partnership we have built.
Thank you, Elizabeth and Rachel, for your exceptional service and unwavering support.
From the NP:
As a nurse practitioner, I worked with recruiter Elizabeth Prater at LocumTenens.com on a four-month-long assignment. As this was my first locums assignment, I was filled with questions, concerns and uncertainty. Having had no prior experience with a locums recruiter, I thought she did a good job, but never really gave it a second thought.
However, having completed assignments and contracts with other agencies and recruiters, I have a newfound respect and gratitude for her. She continually went into overdrive to find openings that met my needs and wants, even reaching out to a facility on my behalf, despite there being no posted openings.
Even when she was out of the office, she connected me with another person at LocumTenens.com, Rachel Dickson, who shared her same sense of empathy, compassion, responsibility and sense of urgency.
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate both of them and their efforts in forming and maintaining a lasting relationship with their providers. I will always have them at the very top of my list of people I want to work with and trust. In summary, not all recruiters and agencies are the same, and my loyalty is to them.
Whether you need short-term coverage or long-term support, our primary care team is here to help strengthen your facility and ensure continuity of care. Speak with a knowledgeable recruiter today about the benefits of locum tenens and APPs.
