Everyone who has solved a jigsaw puzzle knows the difference—completing the picture takes more than finding a piece that fits the shape. It must have the right image, too. In healthcare, building a strong team demands the same precision. A resume may check the right boxes—degrees, licenses, experience. But true alignment comes from deeper qualities—communication, collaboration and a shared commitment to patient-centered care. That’s where PryorCare stands apart. It looks beyond credentials to understand what healthcare organizations genuinely need and what professionals truly value. By thoughtfully matching both sides, PryorCare not only delivers hires who fit on paper, but people who strengthen the team from within—saving hospitals time, reducing turnover costs and ensuring lasting success. Insight is PryorCare’s edge. Every conversation with clinicians helps reveal the realities beneath the job description— the culture, the stressors, the reasons people stay or leave. This understanding informs each search from the start, allowing PryorCare to identify candidates who not only meet clinical requirements but will thrive within the organization’s environment. Each placement is tailored to fit the client’s on-the-ground dynamics, with support that includes refining job descriptions, setting clear expectations and aligning onboarding for maximum impact. “No matter whether it’s a family-owned clinic or a major healthcare network, we become an extension of our client’s HR team,” says Suad Abdinur, founder and CEO. “Acting as an embedded partner, we adapt to changing needs, support client growth and provide the consultative guidance needed for sustainable workforce planning.” Candidates get the same attention. PryorCare takes the time to understand each individual’s motivations, preferences and career goals—ensuring every search is guided by fit, not just function. These conversations become an opportunity to coach candidates for real-world clinical environments, helping them prepare for interviews and understand the specific demands of each role. Many candidates feel genuinely supported throughout the process—an experience that stands out in an industry often marked by transactional recruiting. PryorCare’s deep understanding of both sides of the equation—client and candidate—comes from lived experience. Abdinur spent nearly a decade as a frontline nurse, witnessing firsthand how staff shortages and turnover strain hospital systems. Through conversations with colleagues, she heard the same refrain: a wish for stronger support from leadership and peers. That insight shaped the foundation of PryorCare—built on creating real connections, improving communication and strengthening the teams that healthcare depends on.

For far too many seniors and veterans, getting to a doctor’s appointment can feel like an insurmountable hurdle. With no public transit, family too far away (or out of reach), and unfamiliar roads to navigate, each journey raises questions: Who will help me through the door? Who will be there if I feel anxious or unsteady? Wheels for the Wise reimagines that journey as part of the care itself. More than just drivers, their veteran- and community-focused teams become trusted companions— calling the day before, checking in on wellness, even arranging direct billing—so that a simple pickup becomes an opportunity to restore independence and connection, one mile at a time. Founded in Ottawa, Ontario, in 2011, the company was born out of one simple but profound insight: people living in isolation need tailored support to regain their independence. Its founder, Jana Mitchell, recognized these struggles firsthand and initiated focus groups to understand the true barriers faced by isolated individuals—especially veterans, who often battle intertwined physical and mental health challenges. From a modest start with one car, she grew Wheels for the Wise into a national service that now operates across nearly every Canadian province. “What sets us apart is our constant commitment to a client-centered experience that prioritizes human dignity, safety, and comfort every step of the way. This isn’t just about logistics—it’s about fostering trust and companionship in vulnerable moments,” says Mitchell. The company customizes services for each individual. Whether clients need a low-to-theground sedan, an SUV, or a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, Wheels for the Wise provides options. It offers proactive phone calls the day before pickups to gently remind clients who may need that extra nudge. For regular clients—especially veterans—the service extends to wellness checks when appointments are missed, ensuring no one falls through the cracks. Personal preferences like language, driver gender, or the desire for a veteran driver are honored, creating an environment where clients feel seen, safe, and respected. .
