Why Choose THD Healthcare International?
Healthcare delivery has always been challenging, but perhaps never more so than since the onset of the Covid pandemic. A combination of factors, including a surge in demand for healthcare, staffing shortages caused by burn-out, and long term demographic trends, has set up a situation where many hospitals struggle to meet basic staffing needs. In some extreme cases, hospitals have had to delay surgical procedures, cease L&D services, and even close their emergency departments due to lack of adequate staffing, particularly nurses.
This crisis has created an unsustainable situation for providers trying to maintain adequate staffing. Many agencies have appeared who are quite happy to provide nurses and other healthcare workers - at a 300%, 400%, or even greater mark-up! This “solution” has in many cases provided short-term relief, but at a cost of driving up costs for hospitals and increasing turnover. Since healthcare worker salaries are typically the single largest operating expense for hospitals and other providers, this state of affairs poses a significant risk to their operating margins.
THD Healthcare International has a different philosophy. We don’t look at hospitals as “cash cows” from whom we can maximize our short term profits. After all, higher healthcare costs and shuttered facilities affect all of us in the long run, and we are interested in a model that is sustainable for both healthcare providers as well as healthcare workers. THD Healthcare International looks for nurses and other workers who value stability and growth with an organization. We believe that this creates a “win-win” outcome for all parties.
Many of these workers are foreign nationals who have completed educational programs - in English - that are comparable to schools in the U.S.
We understand that many hospitals are intimidated by the prospect of hiring an overseas worker, and don’t know how to get started. That is where THD Healthcare International comes in. We have built a network consisting of overseas recruiters and schools, as well as U.S.-based immigration lawyers, that manages this process for you. Our goal is for this experience to be as seamless and transparent as possible for you.
