The national conversation around healthcare staffing often centers on nurses, but there’s another group of professionals quietly holding hospitals and clinics together—allied health workers. These include respiratory therapists, medical imaging techs, physical therapists, lab techs, and many more.
At Avora Medical, we specialize in staffing these critical roles because we believe staffing outcomes are only as strong as your allied health team.
What’s Driving This Demand?
1. Demographic Shifts
The aging population continues to need more diagnostic, rehab, and long-term care services—many of which are provided by allied professionals rather than physicians or nurses.
2. Delayed Care from COVID-19
Millions of patients delayed routine screenings, rehab, and elective procedures. Now that they’re returning to care, the backlog has created demand spikes in areas like radiology, physical therapy, and respiratory care.
3. Workforce Attrition
Just like nurses, allied professionals have experienced high burnout, leading to early retirement or career changes. Combined with a lag in training new talent, demand now far outweighs supply.
What Can Facilities Do?
To remain competitive in a tight labor market:
-
Streamline your onboarding process – Delays kill deals.
-
Work with a firm that pre-screens and credential-checks candidates so they’re truly assignment-ready.
-
Make your schedules flexible – clinicians are more likely to accept work that matches their lifestyle.
-
Offer clarity and stability – allied health professionals are often juggling multiple offers and appreciate transparency about expectations and timelines.
Avora Medical was built with this in mind. Our technology and process are specifically designed to fill allied roles with speed and compliance—and with the right person for the setting.
