Source EQ recruits for federally qualified health centers and certified community behavioral health clinics. We place physicians, psychiatrists, PMHNPs, clinical directors, and executive leaders who are genuinely committed to community and mission-driven care — not just candidates who will accept a below-market salary.
FQHCs and CCBHCs operate in one of the most challenging hiring environments in healthcare. You are competing for psychiatrists, physicians, and clinical leaders who could earn significantly more in private practice or PE-backed settings — and you are doing it with grant-constrained compensation structures and Medicaid reimbursement pressures.
The clinical professionals who thrive in FQHCs and CCBHCs are driven by something most corporate healthcare workers are not: a genuine commitment to serving underserved populations. Finding those people requires a recruiter who understands that mission, can articulate it compellingly, and knows where to find clinicians who share it.
Source EQ has built relationships with physicians, psychiatrists, PMHNPs, and clinical leaders who are specifically seeking mission-driven work — including NHSC loan forgiveness-eligible candidates, recent residency graduates committed to community health, and experienced clinicians who want to make a meaningful impact.
We specifically identify and recruit candidates who are motivated by NHSC eligibility — one of the most powerful tools available to FQHCs competing for physician and PMHNP talent.
We understand the CCBHC certification criteria, the required service array, and the staffing ratios that certified clinics must maintain — and we recruit accordingly.
We do not present candidates who are simply available. Every candidate is assessed for genuine commitment to the underserved population your organization serves.
Family medicine and internal medicine physicians for FQHC and community health settings, including NHSC-eligible candidates.
Board-certified psychiatrists for CCBHC integrated care programs, outpatient psychiatric clinics, and telehealth behavioral health settings.
Psychiatric mental health NPs for CCBHC programs, community mental health centers, and integrated behavioral health settings.
Behavioral health clinical directors who manage clinical programming, quality metrics, and staff supervision across CCBHC service arrays.
Physician executives who provide clinical leadership, quality oversight, and strategic direction for FQHC and CCBHC organizations.
C-suite leaders who understand the HRSA grant environment, Medicaid managed care, and the unique governance model of federally funded health organizations.
LCSWs, LPCs, and MFTs for CCBHC integrated behavioral health programs, school-based programs, and community mental health services.
Dentists and dental directors for comprehensive FQHCs with oral health service lines serving underinsured and Medicaid populations.
Operational leaders who can manage multi-site FQHC or CCBHC operations, UDS reporting, and complex grant compliance requirements.
Source EQ has spent years recruiting specifically for community health organizations. That means we understand the UDS reporting requirements, the HRSA program expectations, the Medicaid managed care contracting dynamics, and the Section 330 grant structures that shape your organization's finances and your ability to compete for talent.
We know that CCBHC certification requires a specific service array — crisis services, peer support, substance use disorder treatment, primary care screening, and more — and that each of those service lines has distinct staffing requirements. When you tell us you need a clinical director for your CCBHC, we already know what that means.
We also know that the best clinicians for your organization are not the ones who couldn't get a job anywhere else. They are mission-driven professionals who have made a deliberate choice to serve underserved communities. We find those people.
We understand how HRSA funding, SAMHSA grants, and state behavioral health contracts affect compensation structures — and how to position your offer competitively within those constraints.
From FTCA coverage to scope of practice requirements to Medicaid credentialing timelines, we understand the regulatory environment your new hire will be stepping into.
