CHG Healthcare has appointed Ema Prince as President of the Permanent Placement Division at CompHealth, a move aimed at strengthening the organization’s enterprise workforce strategy as healthcare providers continue to grapple with physician shortages. The leadership change reinforces CHG’s commitment to helping healthcare systems build more sustainable clinical teams by combining short-term staffing solutions with long-term workforce planning.
Prince’s appointment comes as CHG expands its support for clients seeking permanent physician recruitment while still relying on temporary staffing to address urgent workforce gaps. With nearly two decades of experience in recruiting, executive search, and human capital leadership, Prince has built a strong reputation for helping healthcare organizations attract and retain high-performing clinicians. Her leadership is expected to enhance the company’s ability to deliver integrated staffing solutions that address both immediate and future workforce needs.
“Permanent placement has become an essential part of our enterprise strategy,” said Melinda Giese, SVP of Enterprise Client Solutions. “Our clients are not just asking us to fill open roles — they are asking for a partner who can help them build lasting, fully engaged physician and advanced practice teams. Ema’s leadership allows us to elevate our permanent placement capabilities, while expanding our advisory services and pairing locum support with long-term permanent staffing. By blending immediate staffing support with long-term workforce strategy, we help organizations stabilize teams and reduce burnout.”
