Following the acquisition of a large independent group, an Indiana health system experienced significant anesthesiologist turnover during the merger, leaving over 30 positions open. To keep the anesthesia program stable and launch an anesthesia care team model, the health system turned to the Medicus Transition Program for interim staffing support.

“We had relied on Medicus for over three years for short-term locum tenens coverage. When we suddenly faced a massive staffing shortage within our anesthesia program, we knew we needed immediate assistance. Medicus quickly introduced us to their Transition Program, which turned out to be exactly what we needed. They provided high-quality providers promptly, and their support helped us maintain continuous patient care and stabilize our operations. No other locum company offers a program like this. Without Medicus, I am not sure what we would have done.”- Health system leadership
