What CornerStone Medical does

CornerStone Medical, operating as Smith Medical Staffing LLC, is a healthcare and medical staffing agency headquartered at 1231 Greenway Drive, Suite 100, Irving, Texas, that connects hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities with skilled nurses and allied health professionals across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and broader Southwest region. The firm was founded in 2017–2018 by Susan DeGuire, who previously spent 20 years leading sales at the related CornerStone Staffing organization, and operates as a privately held, woman-owned business. Beyond commercial facility placements, the firm holds an approved vendor relationship with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs under Federal Supply Schedule 621I for Professional & Allied Healthcare Staffing Services (Contract #36F79725D0019) and maintains an active FSS pricelist, most recently refreshed in April 2026.

The company's core offering is a healthcare staffing service spanning temporary, temp-to-hire, and direct-hire placements for registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, travel nurses, medical assistants, surgical technologists, pharmacy technicians, phlebotomists, and patient care technicians. Underlying the service is a mobile shift pick-up automation that allows clinicians to claim shifts on-demand when facilities face sudden demand spikes or call-offs, supported by a three-portal ecosystem: an Employee Portal for assignment and credential management, a Client Portal for staffing requests and feedback, and a public Job Search Portal at jobs.csmedicalpro.com. Every candidate is vetted through Clinical Assessments of nursing and allied health knowledge, rigorous background checks, and credential verification, with the firm integrating BirdEye for review/reputation management and FlashRecruit for live chat on the employer feedback page.

CornerStone Medical generates revenue through placement and staffing fees charged to healthcare facilities under a professional services revenue model with no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is sales-led: dedicated account managers cover client facilities while clinical recruitment managers handle the candidate supply side, augmented by content marketing through The CS Medical Chart blog, organic social on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, RSS distribution, and community engagement via Lil Warriors and Feed the Hunger partnerships. The firm holds a Texas SBA Woman-Owned Business Seal (2023), a Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) certification, and a Dallas Business Journal Best Places to Work recognition, and reports a 101–250 employee headcount. No venture capital or private equity funding, M&A activity, or leadership changes are disclosed in the source material.
