Selected from a national pool of nominations, Locumpedia’s 2025 Provider of the Year Award spotlights clinicians who reflect the very best of locum tenens practice, bringing skill, leadership, and commitment to the communities and care teams that rely on them most.
Windham, NH, February 3, 2026 — Medicus Healthcare Solutions is proud to announce that Dr. Meredith Goodwin, a Medicus locum tenens anesthesiologist, has been named one of Locumpedia’s 2025 Locum Tenens Providers of the Year.
With expertise in both general and cardiac anesthesia, Dr. Goodwin is a trusted resource for hospitals navigating anesthesia coverage challenges. She integrates seamlessly into new clinical settings, helping surgical teams maintain continuity of care during periods of staffing strain. Since partnering with Medicus, Dr. Goodwin has supported vital anesthesia coverage across four major Medicus Transition Projects. In each setting, she has brought steady clinical skills and a calm, collaborative presence, helping surgical teams stay focused on what matters most: delivering safe anesthesia care and keeping procedures moving for patients within the community.
“Those patients are often very much in need of the support that we can offer to be able to proceed with their surgeries,” she said, noting that many sites rely on locum anesthesiologists for access. “Without us, those hospitals wouldn’t be able to give surgery to those patients.”
Throughout her locum tenens assignments, Dr. Goodwin is consistently recognized by clinical leaders, patients, and staff for her expertise and professionalism, as well as for the positive energy and warmth she brings to every team. Outside of locum tenens work, her commitment to expanding access to care extends beyond the United States through medical mission work. Since 2023, she has participated in annual medical mission trips to Zambia, most recently in October 2025, where she volunteers anesthesia support for a variety of cases to broaden access to safe surgical care.
Her Medicus recruiter Alexia shared, “Alongside her clinical work and volunteer efforts, she is a devoted mom to a young son and approaches all of her roles with grace. Dr. Goodwin is genuinely one of the most remarkable people I have ever encountered, and she is incredibly well-suited to be recognized as Locum Tenens Provider of the Year.”
