On this episode of The Patient Physician, meet Joe White, founder and CEO of SendIt Healthcare, a marketplace connecting health systems directly with physicians to reduce locums agency overhead and improve staffing transparency, efficiency, and quality. Doctors will benefit from this conversation by learning concrete ways to increase work flexibility and take-home pay, understand locums economics, and reduce credentialing and scheduling friction as a locum tenens doc. Joe traces his path from sweeping hospital floors to HCA executive roles and physician staffing leadership, during which he identified major flaws in the traditional staffing model, which sparked the creation of SendIt. Joe explains how the platform works and the mutual benefits to both doctors and healthcare systems. The conversation covers burnout, physician shortages, IMLC licensing benefits, corporatization, and how AI efficiency gains may shift expectations.

MEET OUR GUEST: JOE WHITE, a Las Vegas native, began his career in healthcare sweeping floors at a local HCA hospital. After earning his MHA from the University of Minnesota, Joe returned to HCA, where he spent nearly 10 years in senior executive roles and graduated from HCA's prestigious executive development program. Following his time at HCA, Joe joined a corporate management group focused on staffing hospital-based providers. These combined experiences, both as a hospital executive and a physician staffing leader, gave him firsthand insight into the challenges facing the locums industry. This unique perspective led Joe to launch Sendit, a solution that connects health systems with high-quality, affordable providers.

SendIt is an innovative two-sided marketplace connecting physicians with healthcare organizations to efficiently fill locum needs. The platform empowers physicians to set their own rates and choose opportunities that fit their schedules and goals. Direct communication with healthcare organizations happens without hidden fees or unnecessary intermediaries. By reducing friction and increasing transparency, SendIt is reshaping locum work into a fairer, physician-first experience.
