Denver-based
Staffing Firm Addresses Critical Shortage of Doctors, Nurses,
Behavioral Health Specialists
DENVER, June 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Matrix Providers, a prominent
medical staffing provider for the United
States government, is launching recruitment efforts to fill
67 full-time physician, ancillary, nursing, dental and behavioral
health contracted positions at Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs)
in the Colorado Military Health System (CMHS) over the next three
and a half years. The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) awarded
Matrix Providers the $37.1 million
task order this spring as part of the Medical Q-coded Series (MQS)
contract, marking the largest task order the military healthcare
staffing firm has secured to date.
"Our servicemen and women and their families depend on highly
qualified doctors, nurses and other essential healthcare staff at
our Military Treatment Facilities, and we are committed to
partnering with the government to ensure these critical positions
are filled promptly and with the very best medical professionals,"
said Dr. Bill Rivard, founder and
CEO of Matrix Providers. "These government-contracted jobs are
rewarding and come with numerous benefits, and we are actively
recruiting healthcare professionals to join us in our mission
to ensure a medically ready force."
Federally contracted employment offers healthcare professionals
a reliable and stable work environment and schedule. With average
contract durations of more than four years and non-binding terms,
staff enjoy flexible arrangements and a better work-life balance.
Additionally, these contract positions often serve as a pathway for
those interested in Government Service employment, bypassing the
typical bureaucratic delays and complexities.
"As a part of the Colorado Military Health System, our
contracted workers play a crucial role in serving over 200,000
military beneficiaries and approximately 3,400 patients daily,"
said Rivard. "This is gratifying work, and considering the growing
shortage of medical professionals across the country, there has
never been a more urgent and opportune time to give back."
In a recent study, the Government Accountability Office reported
a vacancy of 43% of authorized behavioral healthcare jobs in the
military's Defense Health Agency, including psychologists,
psychiatrists and nurses. Matrix Providers' accelerated placement
effort underscores the government's commitment to supporting the
mental health of those who serve, ultimately strengthening the
overall effectiveness and resilience of the military community.
Filling positions in the Colorado
task order directly impacts the quality of healthcare provided to
military personnel in the state.
Matrix Providers is staffing medical facility positions located
at Buckley Space Force Base (SFB), Fort
Carson, Peterson SFB, Schriever SFB and the United States Air Force Academy. Facilities include
Evans Army Community Hospital, the U.S. Air
Force Academy's 10th Medical Group, the 21st Medical
Group at Peterson SFB, the 460th Medical Group at Buckley SFB, and
CMHS sub-clinics in Pueblo County
and Tooele County, Utah.
