About Us

A network rooted in decades of shared experience

PRIME Health Professionals Network is a physician-led, national platform connecting mid-to-late-career doctors with flexible, high-impact opportunities.

Our Mission

To deliver world-class healthcare through a growing network of mid-to-late-career physicians available for locum tenens, independent contractor assignments, and permanent job placement—on-demand, nationwide.

Our Vision

To empower physicians to shape their own careers while providing hospitals and health systems with trusted access to the most valuable resource in healthcare: physician expertise. Through a physician-led network built on excellence, flexibility, and connection, we elevate care—one opportunity at a time.

What is PRIME?

More than a staffing agency

PRIME Health Professionals Network is a physician-led, national platform designed to connect mid-to-late-career doctors with flexible, high-impact staffing, independent contractor, and permanent opportunities. Our mission goes beyond staffing—we're cultivating a trusted network rooted in the relationships and shared experiences that healthcare professionals have built over decades.

We deploy elite, board-certified physicians for in-person and virtual assignments, while also offering access to peer consultations and a strong support community. Through our one-of-a-kind Progressive Referral Incentive, PRIME physicians are rewarded not only for the work they do, but for the value they bring by referring like-minded professionals.

Like specialty societies and associations, we value clinical excellence and community—but we go further by focusing on the evolving future of healthcare work, work-life balance, and the unique power of peer-to-peer support. PRIME empowers physicians to thrive—professionally, personally, and together.
