Pioneering American healthcare staffing since 1979.
Headquartered in Midvale, Utah, CHG Healthcare Services, Inc. founded the U.S. locum tenens delivery model and stands today as the nation's premier medical talent and workforce solutions group.
From a single Utah clinic solution to a national healthcare force
CHG Healthcare Services, Inc. was born in 1979 in Utah when Dr. Therus Kolff recognized that physicians practicing in rural communities had no way to take time off for continuing medical education or family rest without leaving their patients without care. By creating a network of vetted temporary physicians—locum tenens—CHG established an entirely new healthcare staffing sector in the United States.
Over the past four decades, our scope has expanded from temporary physician relief to a comprehensive healthcare workforce ecosystem encompassing permanent physician recruiting, travel nursing, advanced practice providers, allied health professionals, credentialing technology, and health system consulting.
