In response to the latest surge in COVID-19 cases and the impact it has had on the health care industry, the Agboola family has launched FreshStart—a health care staffing, recruiting and training agency.
“As a family, we first launched Senior Placement Services (SPS) to address a need from our most vulnerable adults in the Phoenix area who are facing long-term illnesses and medical concerns, getting them off the streets and into long-term housing,” said Liz Agboola, president and CEO of FreshStart, Senior Placement Services and Moses Behavioral Care. “When SPS identified a shortage of beds, we decided to open Moses Behavioral Care, a group of community-based mental health facilities.”
“Now, due to the coronavirus and an increased need for more qualified health care professionals, it is time for us to meet the market where the market sees demand again and open our own health care staffing, recruiting and training agency,” added Agboola.
FreshStart offers employers a direct source to the largest database of mental health, medical professionals and social service job candidates in the country. As experts who know the industry, Fresh Start’s seasoned team of staffing professionals will help health care organizations navigate the challenges of finding and retaining the best talent. Additionally, job seekers interested in health care positions, will have access to a free platform with jobs across the United States, and assistance from FreshStart expert recruiters.
“We’re trying to do everything we can to help the facilities we work with meet their needs and be able to help the patients that they have and will have,” added Agboola. “As a health care organization, we already understand the rapidly changing industry and the type of talent and experience needed to succeed.”
In addition to staffing and recruiting, FreshStart also offers training and certification courses in the health care field. These certifications include: Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI) training, CPR/first aid certification, group home managers license and caregiver training.
