Michael Chatham
Senior Manager of Recruiting, Anesthesia
“As cliché as it sounds, helping people is one of the main benefits that I enjoy most. Through the work that we do, people who might not have had the opportunity to receive care are getting surgeries today. There are hospitals, whether large or small, that need anesthesiologists or CRNAs there to help save lives. I consider myself more or less a talent agent. My ‘stars’ are CRNAs and anesthesiologists, and it’s my job to find options for them.
Also, just as important are the relationships that I have built over the years. I’ve worked with the same providers for 18 years — going through grandchildren being born, kids going to college, and the providers’ entire career arc up to retirement, and they were working with me the whole time. So the positive relationships I have built is certainly a key benefit.
Not only that, our division really has a family environment and I’ve really developed strong ties with every individual on the team. Seeing the people that I have influenced gain success over the years is extremely fulfilling for me.”
