It’s been a very busy spring for MedPro Senior Vice President of Work Force Solutions Dan Barren. From Becker’s Annual Conference in Chicago, ASHHRA in Fort Worth, and ASCP Knowledge Lab in San Antonio, Barren has been crisscrossing the nation, sharing how MedPro Healthcare helps clients achieve their staffing needs.
“The conferences have been a great opportunity to talk face to face and better understand what facilities are looking for,” said Barren. “I show how we help them achieve their goals while lowering costs.” Hospital labor costs shot up across the country during the COVID pandemic; however, facilities are now transitioning into a post-COVID staffing model, looking for more permanent labor to build an efficient and steady workforce. “They’re preparing for the new normal,” said Barren. Many facilities also want to increase support positions such as CNAs and LPNs.”
Equal Partnership

When Barren speaks with potential clients, his first question is, “What are your goals?” He then explains how MedPro can help them achieve those goals with an extensive pool of domestic and foreign-educated healthcare professionals for short and long-term staffing needs. “We can guarantee an international nurse or MedTech for a three-year assignment, and then the facility has the option to sign them on permanently,” said Barren. It’s a partnership designed to achieve goals with a pool of domestic and international professionals and a strong recruitment solution that attracts both outside talent and converts contingent staff into permanent positions.
