What we staff

Every clinical discipline, one staffing partner

From a single hard-to-fill physician role to ongoing nursing coverage, Ava Health recruits across the full clinical spectrum.

Physician permanent placement

Board-certified physicians for hospitals, private groups, and health systems — sourced, screened, and matched to your setting.

Locum tenens

Credentialed locum coverage to bridge gaps, manage census spikes, and keep service lines open.

Travel & permanent nursing

RNs for travel assignments and permanent roles — ER, ICU, OR, L&D, med-surg, and more.

NP, PA & CRNA recruiting

Advanced-practice clinicians matched on specialty, autonomy, and practice fit.

Allied health & therapy

PT, OT, SLP, AuD, imaging, and lab professionals for clinics, SNFs, and hospital systems.

Pharmacist recruiting

Hospital, retail, and specialty pharmacists placed nationwide.

Per diem nursing

Flexible per diem nursing coverage to staff to demand without overhiring.

Healthcare executive search

Retained search for medical directors, nurse leaders, and administrative leadership.

Candidate-first

We match on fit — not just the open requisition

Most agencies push whoever’s available at the role. We start with the candidate — matching licensed providers to permanent, locum, and travel positions by specialty, geography, compensation, and timing. The result is better-fit placements that actually stay.
