Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Highlands-Cashiers Hospital of Highlands, South Carolina is a modern facility vital to the historic mountain region that was in need of an experienced internist. After enjoying success with The Carlisle Group in placing a primary care physician at his facility previously, President and CEO Ken Shull had no doubt in his mind that they would procure the most appropriate fit for the hospital. Now, less than two months after initiating the search, Highlands-Cashiers Hospital will welcome an experienced internist to their established staff of primary care physicians.
“We are very pleased to be working with The Carlisle Group,” exclaimed Shull, describing how happy he has been with TCG’s efficiency in seeking out and sourcing physicians for his opportunities. “When we had our needs for primary care physicians, they presented us with some great candidates and helped match our needs with the physician’s needs.”

Highlands, North Carolina is located on a plateau in the southern Appalachian Mountains.

More and more of those visitors are beginning to move permanently to the region, which helped attract Highlands-Cashiers Hospital’s new internist from California to the opportunity.
Ken Shull attributes his facility’s physician recruiting success to a combination of The Carlisle Group’s experienced search managers and optimized procurement. “Direct mail works sometimes, but it’s hit or miss,” explained Shull. “With TCG’s optimized e-mail campaigns, they have really turned up with some great candidates.”
“The Carlisle group really does provide Opportunities with Options,” Shull continued. “We’ve had a wonderful experience, we have had wonderful success, and the results are really paying off. “
As explained by TCG Search Manager John Collmer, one of the biggest factors in any search is clear and timely communication. “Clients can really facilitate the process for their search by being responsive,”
