Healthcare and hospital recruitment, from clinicians to the C-suite
Avery Professional Group recruits for hospitals, health systems and healthcare organizations: physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, technologists, and the managers, directors and executives who lead them. Kevin Kirkpatrick has 25 years in recruiting, 22 of them in healthcare, much of it running recruitment inside hospitals. We fill the role in front of you, and we can help you fix how your organization recruits.
