About Us

Our History

Providence Healthcare Group was founded in 1995 in Dallas, Texas, by industry leaders Joe Bogan and Steve Stripling to provide unparalleled service and results at a cost well below the national average. By 1998, Providence had become one of the nation’s top healthcare recruiting firms with a staff of high-performing, experienced recruiters. Since our inception, Providence has saved our clients  millions of dollars by tailoring our fee structures to fit their needs. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Providence placed over 150 physicians and mid-level providers each year. The retention rate of these placements is exceptionally high, and many providers are practicing at their recruited locations even today!

Over the decades, Providence adapted to the rapid changes in healthcare and also to the fast paced changes in technology. This has enabled us to keep our clients’ practice opportunities highly visible to prospective candidates. As healthcare evolves, Providence is positioned to meet the needs of our clients in an ever-changing candidate marketplace. We continue to research and invest in the newest and most effective sourcing methods, including social media, direct mail, and email techniques to remain ahead of the competition.
