ShiftMed, a leader in On-Demand workforce technology, has partnered with Cottage Hospital, a highly-rated health system in New Hampshire, to strengthen its workforce and introduce an unprecedented level of flexibility to its healthcare professionals (HCPs). This partnership marks the first offering of flexible per diem acute care schedules in New Hampshire.

Through ShiftMed’s platform and its extensive network of credentialed HCPs, Cottage Hospital will have the ability to build out its internal float pool with highly skilled, on-demand workers to support current staff. Local nurses will have the opportunity to pick up per diem shifts at Cottage Hospital, giving them complete control over their schedules. Additionally, the increased staffing capacity will provide full-time employees with greater flexibility and the ability to take time off, reducing the burden of overtime and minimizing burnout. This approach promotes work-life balance, helps prevent staff fatigue, and ultimately enhances the quality of patient care.

“We are committed to improving the health of both our community and workforce by delivering accessible, compassionate, and high-quality care,” said Holly A. McCormack, DNP, RN, president & CEO of Cottage Hospital. “This partnership not only allows us to elevate the care we provide to our patients, but also empowers us to prioritize the well-being of our staff while welcoming local nurses on a per diem basis.”

“We’re excited to partner with Cottage Hospital and bring our workforce technology platform to New Hampshire,” said Todd Walrath, CEO and founder of ShiftMed. “This collaboration reflects Cottage Hospital’s dedication to the health and well-being of its community. The flexibility offered by ShiftMed extends beyond supporting full-time and on-demand staff—it ultimately enhances patient outcomes and the overall experience.”
