SAN DIEGO, July 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Sean Ebner and
Travis Singleton, executives from
AMN Healthcare (NYSE: AHS), the nation's most comprehensive
workforce solutions company, have been named to the Dallas
Business Journal 2015 "Who's Who in Health Care," an annual
list honoring North Texans who demonstrate leadership and
innovation in the business aspects of healthcare.
Ebner is president of the AMN Healthcare locum tenens division,
which includes Staff Care, Linde Healthcare and Locum Leaders, the
top providers of temporary physician and advanced practitioner
staffing services. Singleton is senior vice president of Merritt
Hawkins, an AMN Healthcare company that is the leading permanent
physician and advanced practitioner search and consulting
firm.
"The inclusion of Travis and Sean on this prestigious list is
well-deserved recognition for their contributions to patient health
and to the healthcare industry," said Susan
Salka, President and CEO of AMN Healthcare. "It also
highlights the evolution of our company and our contribution to the
North Texas economy. This honor
marks a new understanding of the critical role that effective
workforce solutions play in providing excellence in
healthcare."
Ebner has overseen a reinvigoration of the role of temporary
physician staffing, developing new service lines and approaches to
meet the changing needs of hospitals, medical groups and other
facilities. All of this has benefited healthcare delivery in
North Texas. Staff Care – one of
the most recognized brands in the industry – has provided temporary
physician staffing services for more than 150 North Texas healthcare facilities during the
past four years. That translates into about 650 physicians who have
handled approximately 300,000 patient encounters, creating greater
access to medical services for North
Texas patients.
This growth has also meant jobs and career opportunities for
North Texans. Staff Care and Linde Healthcare now employ more than
420 people as recruiters, quality control specialists, information
technology professionals and risk management assessors, among other
roles.
Singleton is nationally recognized for his expertise in a broad
range of staffing areas, from compensation to medical staff
planning. He has consulted with hospitals and medical groups
regarding physician and allied health needs assessment, population
health management, demographic and healthcare trends, and
physician-hospital relations. Singleton has also overseen permanent
physician and advanced practitioner search assignments across the
nation. He serves on the board of the Health Industry Council of
North Texas and is a professional
development partner of the Texas Healthcare
Trustees.
Both executives are frequently cited in media coverage, with
Ebner's perspective on employment trends featured in The
New York Times, Reuters, The
Wall Street Journal, Forbes, USA Today among others. He is co-author of
"Have Stethoscope, Will Travel: Staff Care's Guide to Locum
Tenens." Singleton also has been a trusted source for stories
featured in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, HealthLeaders Magazine,
USA Today, Modern
Healthcare, Hospitals & Health Networks,
Forbes and New England Journal of
Medicine. Earlier this year, Singleton submitted expert
testimony to the U.S. Congressional Subcommittee on Health
Oversight regarding the ability of U.S. Department of Veterans
Affairs facilities to recruit and retain qualified healthcare
professionals.
Ebner and Singleton, along with fellow healthcare honorees, will
be profiled in the Dallas Business Journal's July 31 issue.
