A Personal Note on Leadership—and a Strategic Path Forward
“Lifequakes aren’t detours from the path—they are the path.” – Bruce Feiler
If you’ve just received our gift, chances are you’re navigating a moment of change—personally, professionally, or both. From one healthcare leader to another: welcome. You’re not alone in the uncertainty, or in the opportunity it brings.
At Synergy Health Partners, we understand that change in hospital leadership often comes with urgent decisions. That’s why for over 15 years, we’ve partnered with hospitals nationwide to build sustainable, budget-aligned surgical staffing programs—starting with the first conversation and built to last through every transition.
Surgicalist Staffing That Strengthens Hospital Leadership
Whether you’re stepping into a new role or shaping the future of your organization, Synergy’s Surgicalist model can help your hospital:
-
Retain high-value surgical cases and keep care local
-
Restore predictable coverage for general, orthopedic, and trauma surgery
-
Shorten ED hold times and inpatient length of stay
-
Increase surgical volume—and revenue—without expanding payroll
-
Ensure coverage that fits your budget and hospital culture
-
Leverage meaningful KPIs to guide better operational decisions
We don’t just place surgeons—we embed proven care models that help you lead with confidence.
How It Works?
To ensure reliable staffing and drive measurable results, we develop customized Surgicalist Models designed around the specific needs of our hospital partners and the communities they support. Each program is backed by dedicated service line leaders who champion your success through strong clinical leadership and operational expertise.
Our surgeons and clinicians work hand-in-hand with facility leadership, integrating seamlessly into hospital workflows, culture, and clinical committees to help build and enhance programs. That’s why we carefully screen provider candidates—not only for clinical excellence but also for their ability to form lasting, engaged partnerships.
We structure and optimize program teams to deliver high-quality patient care while offering valuable insights and analytics to track performance across these specialized service lines:
What Are The Benefits To Hospitals?
Surgical teams work coordinated shifts 24/7/365 with detailed handoffs to cover emergent, acute, and inpatient consult needs, resulting in:
- Predictable physician staffing – Orthopedic, Trauma, General Surgery
- Call support for community physicians
- Decreased wait times and length of stay
- Improved patient throughput
- Increased elective volume
- Increased downstream revenue
- Increased surgical volume to ER
- Decreased time ER to OR
- Improved HCAHPS
- Decreased readmissions
The Synergy Model:
- Restores work-life balance for clinicians
- Ensures quality of life for skilled surgeons
- Allows surgeons to enjoy real-time off
- Empowers surgeons to focus on their passion for quality patient care rather than on administrative hassles
This is how we support high quality, aligned, and engaged medical professionals so that they can support hospitals and patients with predictable surgical teams and access to local care.
