Tammy D. Hager, MBA, FABC, Announces Forthcoming Release of The Physician Recruitment Playbook, A Strategic Guide for Building Sustainable Healthcare Workforces
Springfield, MO – February 25,2026 – Healthcare organizations nationwide are grappling with unprecedented physician shortages, rising burnout, and mounting operational pressures. In response to these challenges, nationally respected healthcare operations leader Tammy D. Hager, MBA, FABC, announces the upcoming release of her new book, The Physician Recruitment Playbook: Real-World Strategies to Recruit, Retain, and Inspire Physicians and Providers.
Drawing on more than three decades of experience in healthcare recruitment and operations leadership, she delivers a practical, field-tested framework for turning physician recruitment from a transactional function into a strategic leadership priority. The book provides healthcare executives, recruiters, and medical leaders with clear tools, financial insights, and operational models designed to stabilize service lines, reduce costly vacancies, and strengthen long-term workforce sustainability.
Tammy’s expertise is rooted in hands-on experience. She began her career on the front lines of hospital-based recruitment and operations management before advancing into leadership roles within prominent healthcare systems. Over the course of her career, she has overseen hundreds of successful physician placements while simultaneously optimizing credentialing workflows, data integration systems, and cross-functional operational processes.
Today, she is the founder of Hager Healthcare Solutions, a national consulting firm specializing in recruitment strategy, credentialing optimization, data integration, and strategic process improvement. Through her firm, she partners with healthcare executives and operations teams to turn fragmented recruitment efforts into cohesive, high-performing systems that protect revenue, expand patient access, and improve retention.
The Physician Recruitment Playbook synthesizes this extensive experience into a comprehensive resource that addresses: the economic impact of vacancies, the leadership role of recruitment, modern sourcing strategies, employer branding, candidate experience, structured interviewing, and long-term retention planning. It reframes recruitment not as an HR task, but as a core executive function tied directly to growth strategy and community health.
With the release of this book, she continues her mission to modify the conversation around workforce sustainability and equip healthcare leaders with the clarity and tools needed for today’s complex labor environment.
