Client Experience
Summary:
Shelby Memorial Hospital (SMH), Shelbyville, Illinois, the lone hospital serving Shelby County’s population of 5000; decided they needed more coverage for their area.
They needed a provider to cover their rural clinic that is critical to ensuring the viability of their organization. “This recruitment enables us to provide treatment to a lot of patients that would have gone to other facilities if we had not been successful.” This recruitment will also increase the hospital’s revenue.

Case Details:
Location: Shelbyville, Illinois
Service Area: Shelby County
Physician Staff: 4
Growth Plans: Due to retirement we are going to need to add physicians.
Recruitment Method: Outsourced Recruiting
Marilyn Sears is the CEO of SMH, a 30 bed not-for-profit community hospital located in Shelbyville, IL. They take a lot of pride in providing quality healthcare for the county and it has been a tradition for over 90 years.
This small hospital stays busy in the ER with just over 30,000 visits annually. Marilyn Sears was born in this hospital, has experienced and embraces the hospital’s philosophy of ultimate excellence in patient caring and describes the hospital in two words…."totally compassionate”.
When we asked Marilyn why she selected The Hire Connection, she said, “I like that you are from the Midwest, and I get a different kind of feeling than other firms were giving me. I guess it was just a great vibe and Norma sold me on it”.
“Kathryn was great every step of the way. She is very knowledgeable and kept me so informed throughout the process. I was also very impressed with her communication.”
Marilyn indicated she would highly recommend The Hire Connection and she is very happy with her new physician. “I will be calling upon your services again.”
SMH provides a round-the-clock Emergency Department that is fully staffed by physicians and highly trained nurses. They also feature a full cadre of both in and outpatient services including a 24-hour lab and an imaging department that is fully digital. Another component of SMH is an advanced surgery department with an acute inpatient care unit.
Marilyn has worked with other contingent and retained firms in the past. She got really frustrated with previous firms because they would essentially submit every physician in their database without even trying to ensure they were a good fit. She said she called a candidate one night that had been sent over by a firm and learned during that conversation, the candidate was an Orthopedic Surgeon when she was recruiting a Family Practitioner. Marilyn received another candidate that was a Pathologist who just decided he was going to start practicing Family Medicine; that wasn't acceptable either.
