It's that time of year for companies to renegotiate our health insurance costs.  One of the benefits of joining Cirrus, has been our ability to provide the best benefits in the industry at incredible prices. While we were able to remain flat in '08, we're couldn't avoid an increase this year. In 2009 insurance rates raised 10-13% on average. The good news is that we will still be offering our traveling  therapists the varied plans aimed at fitting the unique needs of our staff. So, if you are currently on one of our plans, you may want to consider raising your deductible a couple of hundred per year to offset the increase costs. We also offer a plan at no cost to our traveling therapists.  Check out our website for more information or call your recruiter to discuss your options. 
  If you are a veteran traveler or looking into becoming a traveling therapists, I hope you'll check out our great benefits and give us a call.
 

With our recent sale to Cirrus Medical Staffing,  MDI Medical has been working diligently to make sure we go through this transition with uninterrupted service to our traveling therapists.  We have been working to introduce many of our key support people. Some of these are listed below:

  Max Hogan handles our HR and 401k 
  Trent Burris manages Payroll
  Natalie Barber is primary access to Housing
  Keisha Hamilton manages helping travelers get their credentialing together

 Of course you can always call your recruiter at MDI Medical.

Beginning in January, we will be working on transitioning our name from MDI Medical to "Cirrus Allied Staffing."  We're excited about the positive changes under way.

For all of our Cirrus Allied Staffing travelers that have not already gotten your Christmas tree put up. Here are a few tips to help you find the best Christmas tree for your family and also save some money in the process. Finding the right Christmas tree can be fun for your family, but it can also be a pain. The prices of trees have risen tremendously in the last few years especially if you go to the lots of retailers to pick one out. They have risen because these retailers contract with farms all over the United States, and they usually have traveled thousands of miles to end up where you are buying them. So for all of our Cirrus Allied Staffing travelers the website posted below gives you a list of local Christmas tree farms around the U.S. all you need is to enter your zip code. Here you will find the freshest trees and you can even cut them down yourself if you would like to enjoy the experience in its entirety. If you can't find a Christmas tree farm near you house, then become aware of the types of Christmas trees that do grow in your area. Fake Christmas trees have also become extremely popular if someone in your family is allergic to the real ones. You can find them in many shapes and sizes and also in different colors. To make it really easy for some people, you can find them already decorated and with lights. They are sold at most of your major retailers, or you can find them at on-line retailers depending what you want.

Ready for a change?  We are.  MDI MEDICAL is excited for the New Year.  Look for our new company name Cirrus Allied Staffing.  Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and most Therapists will be off for 2 days.  Don’t let the Holidays stress you out make sure you relax while you have the time too.  MDI Medical knows as a Rehab therapist you are committed to patient care, and it can be stressful for a therapist to take time off from work.  Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapist can benefit from the luxury of contract work.  As a traveler you have the opportunity to design your own schedule.  Time off in-between assignments will give you the chance to recharge in this fast pace environment.  MDI Medical has professional recruiters that will help design the ideal schedule for you.  

 

Joseph Carlino

Senior Account Manager

MDI MEDICAL, a Cirrus Company

Hello all,

Just a note from your friendly Allied Health Jobs recruiter, especially during the "down time" of the holiday season.  Make sure you have the cell phone number of your manager and recruiter in case of any holiday time off or other issues associated with this time of year that is not already agreed upon in the standard contract.  We're all here to help if you have any questions, even if we're not in our office.  Also remember, if the facility is having issues with getting you the opportunity to work your 40 hours during holiday weeks, you almost always have the possibility to work on the holiday day itself, pending scheduled patients.  We could also ask our clients to have you work straight pay instead of time and a half so you won't miss out on your hours.  It's better to have regular rates instead of no rates, right? 

PS, look for MDI Medical's name change to Cirrus Allied Staffing after the new year, new name, same great company! 

Until next time, Happy Thanksgiving!

Tom Hidock

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I thought today would be the perfect time to discuss the convenience of being on a travel assignment during the holidays. If your permanent residence is in a different city or state from your family, consider taking a travel assignment as an opportunity to spend more time with them!

Often times hospitals will begin staffing for their holiday needs in August or September. So it is important to let us know what your winter travel plans will be as far in advance as possible.

Remember that MDI Medical, A Cirrus Allied Staffing Company, does contract and contract to perm placement for the following modalities:

Physical Therapists&Assistants
Occupational Therapists&Assistants
Speech Language Pathologists

If you have any questions about our current needs, please don't hesitate to give me a call at: 866-518-1750 Ext. 2319

Not sure where to take your next assignment?  How about Boston, MA with MDI Medical, a Cirrus Company?  Boston has been widely considered the economic and cultural capital of the New England area.  It’s also the center of higher education due to the surrounding colleges and universities, including Harvard.  The city is also lush with historical significance.  Several important events in American history occurred in Boston, such as; the Boston Tea Party, the Boston Massacre, and the Battle of Bunker Hill to name a few.

 

There’s plenty to do in Boston whether you’re a history, arts, or sports buff.  There are several museums and art festivals.  The city is also home to several championship caliber sports teams: Boston Red Sox (MLB), New England Patriots (NFL), Boston Celtics (NBA), and the Boston Bruins (NHL).  The Red Sox, Celtics, and Patriots have all won at least one championship within the last 5 years.  The Red Sox also play in historical Fenway Park, the oldest active stadium in the country.  The Patriots also, flirted with history in 2008 by nearly completing a perfect season, until they were defeated by the New York Giants in the Super Bowl.  Boston has lots of warm weather in the spring and summer and beautiful snowfalls in the winter.  So contact MDI Medical, a Cirrus company for an assignment in Boston!  Catch a Sox game in April or a Patriots game in January…don’t worry about the weather, there’s plenty of Dunkin Donuts coffee around to keep you warm!  Check back for more cities or call me, Juan Soto at 678-993-2307.  Until then…safe travels and Happy Thanksgiving!

For MDI Medical's PT, OT, SLP, PTA and COTA travelers on assignment, eating healthy during the Holiday season is sometimes about tough choices. Whether you order carry-out, buy ready-to-serve food at the grocery store, or dine in a restaurant, making good food choices is still important. Healthy and delicious food is available, if you look for it.

Fast Food Joints
Of course our Allied Health Travelers are going to eat fast food.  Let's face it, it's just easier. But, even fast food restaurants offer some good (or at least better) food choices. Start by carefully looking at the whole menu. Are there other choices than a cheeseburger and French fries? Remember, there is no such thing as a low-fat cheeseburger. Hamburger is high in fat and so is cheese. If you must order a burger, order a small one and hold the cheese and mayonnaise.

Instead of ordering French fries, order a side salad, baked potato or corn- on-the-cob. Instead of a breaded chicken breast sandwich, order the grilled chicken sandwich. Order a variety of foods. For example: Instead of a triple cheeseburger and large order of fries, order a regular hamburger, a side salad, a cup of soup and skim milk.

Absolutely avoid creamy foods. Cream of broccoli soup has very little broccoli and lots of fat and cream. Order soups with a broth base instead. Ask for fat-free salad dressings and always ask for the dressing "on the side."

Eating in a Restaurant
Remember you are the customer and you are in charge. Ask your waiter or waitress how the food is prepared before you order. Is it fried, is it baked, can you have it without butter or without salt? Ask about words in a foreign language, especially in an ethnic restaurant. Know what you are getting . . .

If you must wait at the bar for your table, order something light. Even nonalcoholic beverages can be loaded with sugar and fat. For example: Irish coffee is made with cream. Order water with a slice of lemon or a fruit "juice spritzer." If you are on a special diet, let the waitress know right away. Sometimes she can be helpful. Do not overeat. Try ordering an appetizer and a small salad as your meal. Share a high fat food or a large order with someone. Order one dessert and ask for two, three or four spoons for sharing. You will save money and calories. Avoid overeating by eating half your order and taking the rest home. Make it a habit to ask for a "doggie bag." Refrigerate leftovers within two hours. Avoid fried meats and ground meats like sausage and meatballs. Look for low fat meats that are grilled, broiled and baked. Order whole grain breads or plain rolls. Biscuits and croissants are always high in fat.Drink coffee black or with skim milk and a sugar substitute. Ask for Cafe Mocha or hot chocolate made with skim milk and no whipped cream.

Always order water. Drinking water along with a meal is filling.

Enjoy eating away from home. It can be relaxing and fun. Get into the habit of making good food choices no matter where you eat. Healthy eating is the first step in reducing your risk of heart disease, obesity and some forms of cancer. Healthy and happy is the way we want all of our PT, OT and SLP travelers.

Have a GREAT Holiday Season!

With Warm Regards,

Scott Ferguson
MDI Recruiter
