Natividad Medical Center faced the threat of a strike during labor contract negotiations, and many of their union staff called out sick simultaneously, posing a significant challenge to the hospital's services as it has the only trauma center in the Tri-County area. Huffmaster quickly provided fully trained and certified surgical technicians to keep the hospital running smoothly. As a result, Natividad experienced no disruption to services, no risk to accreditation or liability during staff walkouts, a seamless restaffing process, and patients received necessary care without going to another hospital.

Natividad is a hospital and Level II Trauma Center dedicated to improving and inspiring healthy lives. As a public health care system, Natividad provides compassionate, high-quality health care to everyone in Monterey County, regardless of their ability to pay or immigration status. Located in Salinas, California, and founded in 1886, Natividad offers a wide range of inpatient, outpatient, emergency, diagnostic, and specialty medical care for adults and children.
The hospital faced the threat of a strike during labor contract negotiations. While they averted a strike, Natividad experienced another form of workforce disruption where many of their union staff called out sick simultaneously. Typically referred to as a "Blue Flu," this type of workforce disruption would significantly hamper the hospital's services, as the surgical team must be available because the hospital has the only trauma center in the Tri-County area. With Huffmaster's support, Natividad could secure the necessary surgical technicians to keep the hospital running smoothly.
Huffmaster utilizes a deep Applicant Tracking System (ATS) called Bullhorn, quickly identifying available candidates and ensuring their up-to-date medical information. As a result of the database, Huffmaster provided Natividad with fully trained and certified surgical technicians.
With Huffmaster's help, Natividad experienced no disruption to services, no risk to accreditation or liability during staff walkouts, a seamless restaffing process, and, best of all–patients received necessary care without traveling to another hospital.
"We are proud to have supported Natividad with the necessary surgical technicians to keep the hospital running smoothly," said Scott Cassady, Director of Sales for Huffmaster Crisis Response.
