When a new St. Louis hospital launched its anesthesia services, leadership engaged multiple locum tenens agencies to support coverage. However, persistent challenges in anesthesiologist recruitment among the agencies resulted in operating room closures and surgical delays that impacted revenue and patient satisfaction. To regain stability, leadership decided to partner with Medicus to streamline and consolidate anesthesia coverage.
"Medicus exceeded our expectations after partnering with so many locum tenens agencies. They delivered experienced anesthesiologists quickly, communicated clearly, and operated as a true partner. Their support ensured stable operating room coverage, improved access for our patients, and gave us a solid foundation for growth." - Hospital Leadership
