Press Release Summary: The Carlisle Group focuses just as much on the needs of rural
communities as they do for larger locations and constantly deliver the best
opportunities to their clients.

Press Release Body:
For many regional healthcare clinics and facilities across America and their
administrators, it has always been particularly difficult to find the healthcare
providers they require to keep their communities healthy. Even with the promise of a
higher income and a better cost for living than in larger cities, the overall
shortage of healthcare specialists in America has made the search for physicians a
difficult and complicated process. Fortunately for many of these more rural
communities, The Carlisle Group focuses just as much on their needs as they do for
larger locations and constantly deliver the best opportunities to their clients.

For Rob Schmitt, the Chief Executive Officer of Gibson Area Hospital of Gibson City,
Illinois, finding a new Orthopedic Surgeon at first seemed nearly impossible. He was
told by one popular firm that it would take approximately 18 months and $50,000 to
place his opportunity. He had worked with another firm for 8 months without a single
lead. The outlook began to look more optimistic when Schmitt decided to hire the
services of The Carlisle Group.

“In one week The Carlisle Group was in touch with us, and away we went,” Schmitt
says, as one of TCG’s seasoned search managers immediately began the extensive
search process for qualified surgeons. 17 days later, TCG succeeded in signing
Gibson City’s newest Orthopedic Surgeon. Since then, the new recruit has even
increased his colleagues’ productivity, helping to solidify the already “great
relationship between medical and administrative” staff. As a result of this
successful recruitment, The Carlisle Group has earned a future partnership with
Gibson Area Hospital.

Logan Regional Medical Center in Logan, West Virginia was having similar difficulty
locating physicians for their brand new facilities. Having already invested over $30
million in new technology, the Medical Center was now in desperate need for
Cardiologists. Unfortunately, even after employing the services of two retained
physician recruiting firms and several additional contingent firms, the charm of the
Appalachian community was also causing some complications, as its rural location
hindered the recruiting process.

That’s when in-house Physician Recruiter Si Easterling called TCG, and was
immediately impressed by how easy they were to work with. “As far as accessibility,
it’s as good as you can get. The Carlisle Group is easy to reach and gets back to us
very promptly,” Said Easterling. Our search manager was genuinely interested in
getting a placement. He wasn’t just another recruiter and we weren’t just another
hospital.”

What Chief Executive Officer Mark Dooley of Andalusia Regional Hospital in southern
Alabama liked best about the process of finding their new Orthopedic Surgeon with
TCG was the fact that his Search Manager thought of every detail. He even had the
candidate sign TCG documentation that led the way to securing a legal contract with
the facility.

“It was nice to have the physician sign a letter of intent to display their
commitment, without getting slapped with a placement invoice,” says Dooley. “My
Search Manager represented the opportunity very well, was great at communicating our
thoughts to the candidate, and vice versa. I absolutely plan on using The Carlisle
Group for future placements.”

The Carlisle Group is a healthcare placement firm that offers a unique structure to
clients seeking to attract healthcare professionals and physicians to their
communities. Utilizing a variety of resources and strategic partnerships to
determine viable searches nation-wide, The Carlisle Group is a rising star in the
field of physician recruitment.
