Keri James is a HealthTrust Workforce Solutions Assistant Vice President for MSP Operations. She and her team of 12 support the contract labor needs for nine clients: They help five healthcare systems with their clinical contract needs, and four areas of HCA Healthcare with their non-clinical contract needs, such as short-term vacancies in their IT Group.

“The best part of my job is supporting my team,” Keri says. “I like to make sure they are meeting their career goals and maintaining a good work/life balance.”

Keri joined HealthTrust in February 2015 as a Program Director after building a solid career in both MSP program management and IT staffing solutions. She divides her time between working in our Dallas regional office and traveling to meet with clients across the country.
