What Wellhart does

Wellhart is a privately held U.S. healthcare staffing agency, organized as Wellhart, LLC and headquartered in Woburn, Massachusetts, that specializes in locum tenens placement. Founded in 2017, the company matches physicians (MDs), certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs), nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), and dentists with healthcare facilities requiring temporary coverage. It operates nationwide with particular depth in five specialty verticals: anesthesiology, emergency medicine, radiology, hospitalist medicine, and CRNA staffing, and has built dedicated service lines for government contracts, disaster relief, humanitarian aid, and emergency response deployments. The most visible contract evidence is from 2021, when the firm deployed 120+ providers over six months for Operation Allied Welcome (Afghan refugee humanitarian response) and 425+ providers delivering 219,000+ billed hours and 18,250+ shifts at a federal Emergency Intake Shelter for unaccompanied minors.

The core product is a staffing intermediary service rather than a technology platform. Its website functions as a job board and applicant intake portal where providers can browse openings by occupation and state, and facilities can submit staffing requests. Wellhart supports each placement with travel arrangement coordination and malpractice insurance coverage, and operates a tiered referral program paying $2,000-$10,000 per referred physician and $1,000-$10,000 per referred CRNA, NP, or PA. The technology stack is limited to the public website and an applicant tracking system; no proprietary AI, API, SDK, or integrations are disclosed, and there are no patents or trademarks on file.

Wellhart earns revenue through placement fees on each locum tenens assignment, functioning as a professional services intermediary with a pay-as-you-go billing cadence. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; locum tenens rates vary by specialty, geography, experience, and demand, with published market reference points ranging from roughly $190/hour for CRNAs to $450/hour for interventional radiologists. The go-to-market is sales-led: dedicated recruiters engage both facility clients and provider candidates via phone (855-895-3550), email, and website forms, supplemented by content marketing (specialty salary guides) and organic social presence on LinkedIn and Facebook. The company has 51-100 employees, no disclosed outside funding, and no parent or subsidiary structure, consistent with an independently owned, founder- or small-group-operated staffing firm.

Broad incumbents

• AMN Healthcare: Largest publicly traded US healthcare staffing firm, operating across locum tenens, travel nursing, and allied health. Directly comparable in core physician and advanced practice placement, but with materially greater scale, public-company capital, and proprietary vendor-management systems.
• Aya Healthcare: Largest US travel nurse and allied staffing firm that has expanded into locum tenens and non-clinical healthcare staffing. Comparable in serving facility clients with temporary clinical labor, but skewed to nursing rather than physician placement.
• Jackson Healthcare: Privately held US healthcare staffing conglomerate with locum tenens, travel nursing, and allied divisions. Comparable in physician and advanced practice temporary placement but operates at significantly larger scale.

Direct peers

• CHG Healthcare: Parent of CompHealth, Weatherby Healthcare, and Global Medical Staffing; one of the two largest locum tenens platforms in the US. Closest direct peer in the locum tenens placement model serving hospitals, government, and humanitarian clients.
• Weatherby Healthcare: CHG-owned locum tenens firm focused on physician placements across anesthesia, emergency medicine, radiology, and hospitalist specialties — an almost identical specialty mix to Wellhart's core offerings.
• LocumTenens.com: Specialty-only locum tenens agency with an online-forward placement model covering physicians, NPs, and CRNAs. Direct competitor in the same online job-board-led locum tenens segment Wellhart operates in.
• CompHealth: Locum tenens-focused division of CHG Healthcare placing physicians, CRNAs, NPs, and PAs across the same specialties Wellhart covers. The most directly comparable locum tenens peer in target customer and provider mix.

Emerging players

• Adelphi Medical Staffing: Mid-sized locum tenens and healthcare staffing agency placing physicians, NPs, and PAs in temporary assignments. Closely comparable in size and provider mix, though less federal-emergency oriented than Wellhart.
• MPLT Healthcare: Locum tenens staffing firm placing physicians, PAs, NPs, and CRNAs across the same in-demand specialties (anesthesia, emergency, radiology, hospitalist). Direct specialty-overlap competitor with a similar multi-specialty platform model.
