Why Hospitals Choose STATUS
“We have a great partner with ERx (Now STATUS) and view them as an integral part of our Healthcare System. They not only provide us with clinically sound physicians, but go above and beyond to make sure our patients receive compassionate care. The management team at ERx (Now STATUS) has always been very supportive of our needs and quickly addresses any issue we may face. Over the course of Covid we broke records with volume and the ERx (Now STATUS) physicians met the challenge in stride. I am proud to call them my colleagues and friends”
“I have worked with ERx (Now STATUS) for nearly 4 years. I have worked with many companies but never have I enjoyed working more than I have with ERx (Now STATUS)… The scheduling is made to accommodate the physician. ERx (Now STATUS) listens and responds positively to the needs of the doctors. As a doctor, we retain our autonomy and this is rare in today’s world…”
“I have had the pleasure of working for ERx Group (now STATUS) since 2013. From administration to team leaders, schedulers, and staff, this company has been a great fit for me. I have the opportunity to work as much or as little as I want. The schedulers are physician-focused, making sure you can work around family events, big and small. The leadership worries about the work-life balance of their employees. The focus is on quality patient care and teamwork, which fits well with my values. I have had an amazing experience.”
“I would recommend ACUTE CARE, INC. (Now STATUS) they are a reliable staffing service for ED Physicians.”
“The physicians that have worked for us through ACUTE CARE, INC. (Now STATUS) have been excellent. We are a very small rural hospital, and I feel ACUTE CARE, INC. (Now STATUS) does a great job providing us with physicians who are knowledgeable about rural healthcare and an understanding of the challenges that exist because of limited resources.”
