About Us
Wapiti Medical Staffing is dedicated to providing tailored healthcare staffing solutions specifically for rural communities. We focus on staffing physicians, Advanced Practice Providers (APPs), and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), ensuring that rural facilities receive the specialized support they need. Our consultative approach is designed to meet the distinct needs of each rural community we serve.
Our Story
Our journey began in 1996 at a small, rural hospital in Iowa, where our founder, then a medical resident, managed the ER schedule. This experience sparked a commitment to improving rural healthcare. Today, Wapiti Medical Staffing is among the largest medical staffing firms in the upper Midwest, recognized in the top 2% of all staffing groups nationwide by ClearlyRated’s Best of Staffing® Award. We are passionate about rural healthcare and proud of our role in supporting it.
Our Mission
Our mission is to enhance the well-being of rural communities by providing fast, efficient, and reliable healthcare staffing services. We are committed to serving one healthcare provider, one facility, and one rural community at a time, with a deep-rooted dedication to rural healthcare.
