Clarian Health: Success and Satisfaction
“Being new to my role in HR, I needed someone to partner with who would make my job easier, not more complicated,” says Lydia Ostermeier, RN, CHCR, who leads nursing recruitment and retention efforts at Clarian Health, a five-hospital system in Indianapolis. "B. E. Smith helped me understand the search process and took care of all the ‘hassle factors,’ like travel, marketing and advertising. With every search, it has been a pleasure working with them from start to finish.” 

Saratoga Hospital: Coverage in a Crisis
"B. E. Smith bailed me out of a potential crisis," says Cathleen Hamel, MS, RN, CNOR, CNAA, BC, vice president and chief nursing officer of Saratoga Hospital in Saratoga Springs, New York. "The Joint Commission was coming within two weeks, and I needed to have an interim director in place for the women’s health department." Hamel says B. E. Smith responded quickly. "Two consultants visited the hospital to see our environment and culture firsthand," she says. Soon afterward, provided an experienced nursing leader who fit in just right.
