In sports, a huddle is when a team gathers together in a close, tight, and organized group. They use this time to share information, collaborate on strategies, and celebrate any accomplishments that have been made. Most commonly seen in football, a huddle is an integral part of any team’s success. So it is no surprise that Ardor Health Solutions chose to integrate the huddle into their mornings and afternoons. 

The daily huddle was actually started back in the days of John D. Rockefeller. He came up with the idea of a daily business huddle in order to better provide his management and team with a good flow of daily information. Ever since then this idea has spread drastically to a variety of companies.

Every morning and afternoon, around 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. respectively, anyone inside Ardor Health’s office can be sure that they will be hearing a call from the pit, “Time for the Huddle!” Without skipping a beat everyone heads to middle of the office and assembles in a circular fashion in order to form Ardor Health Solutions’ huddle. Equipped with a pen and pad and their hot leads, each member of the team brings something unique to the huddle.  This is a time for everyone to put their pressing issues on hold and to share with the rest of their team what they need help with. Each member of the team respects each person’s time in the huddle and listens closely to what needs to be said. The huddle is a time for brainstorming, collaboration, and overall building of team spirit here at Ardor Health. Each huddle is always different, and each one always has a different feel to it, but the same thing is always accomplished, complete collaboration of the whole team.

After the end of each huddle the whole team is brought closer together for some last few words of encouragement from management. After that is said, everyone puts in their right hand and one big and loud “ARDOR!” is shouted to break the huddle. Every company is different and every company has its own methods, but whatever their methods may be, collaboration and communication are key. In Ardor Health Solutions case, the huddle is one of the best ways we get it done.

Times are tough and jobs are scarce but not in the rapidly expanding medical field. As the nation’s population ages needing increasing medical care, demand for allied healthcare professionals is expected to continue its rapid growth. Jobs in allied health are currently increasing as the need for health care professionals evolves. A recent decline in the number of primary physicians is putting an increased demand on other professionals in the health care system. What this means is even more job opportunities for those in the medical profession. As new medical tests and treatments increase, a parallel increase in technicians to deliver the tests and treatments is created. This trend further accelerates the number of jobs.

Allied heath careers include a wide range of health professionals with over one hundred different careers available. Nurses, doctors, and dentists are not included in allied healthcare; rather they are primary care givers. Those in supporting roles are considered allied health providers. Careers include medical billing, ultrasound technicians, doctor and dental assistants, radiology technicians, physical therapists and occupational therapists, surgical technicians, speech language pathologists, pharmacy assistants, massage therapists, and dietitians.
Many of these jobs are entry level and require only a two-year associate degree providing a quick way to enter into a promising career. Job openings exist across the country, and the number of qualified applicants does not meet the demand. A quick look at job listings in any area of the nation will reveal the current demand for health care professionals. Some allied healthcare professions require certification that can be attained even more quickly than an associate degree. Phlebotomy certification requires a high school diploma, 40 hours of classroom training and 120 hours of hands-on training with 100 successful blood collections. Emergency Medical Technicians can be trained in as brief a period as two weeks, but it usually takes six months to two years to acquire certification. Programs of study are offered at traditional colleges, community colleges, and through online education providers.

The combination of increased demand for health care due to an aging population and the recent requirement that all citizens obtain health care by the year 2014 will ensure that jobs in allied health continue to increase.

Will I be required to sign a long term contract?

When working with Ardor Health you will never be required to sign a long term contract. Typically every assignment is different in terms of length. However, for most travel assignments you can expect around a 13 week assignment. Your recruiter will always work with you on whether or not if you want to work a shorter assignment or a longer assignment. Your specific recruiter will be able to walk you through their agreement and any legal wording you need clarification on. Whether your preferences change between each assignment doesn’t matter because Ardor Health will always work to find the perfect assignment for you.

Tiger Woods knows by now that he took himself out of the last tournament he played in due to neck pain. To the average golfer, this may seem like an excuse for playing poorly, but professional golfers spend countless hours on the driving range and putting greens. They have to stand over the ball with head extended downward and then torque the neck upwards as they strike the ball. Doing this about 500 times per day on a regular basis places undue stress on the neck muscles, ligaments and cervical disks. You may also recall that Tiger did claim that he strained his neck in his infamous car accident, and he may not have fully recovered from that incident by the time he began practicing for the Masters. All Golfers should have access to a physical therapist who can assess their physical abilities and provide individualized training programs.

A golfer will extend his neck forward as he stands over the golf ball, causing the "C" shaped curve in the neck to decrease. This is also called loss of cervical lordosis, and this position can increase the stress placed on the muscles, ligaments and disks in and around the neck, and be a cause of cervical pain.

Each pair of vertebrae in the neck has two facet joints which allow for motion between them. Nerve roots extend from between the facets. Pain occurs when the facets grind together. Osteophytes, or bone spurs which are degenerative, can develop and encroach on the nerves.

The usual therapy for neck strains is heat from a hot pad or even a hot shower. Anti-inflammatories are prescribed and the patient is advised to avoid the activity that produces the pain and to use an orthopedic pillow to keep the curve in the cervical spine in the proper position to alleviate the pain.

Stretching exercises that allow the head to hang forward with some pressure applied for about 10 seconds, and turning the head and holding the stretch for about six seconds are recommended. There are strengthening exercises one can do by placing your hand or hands on either side of your head and holding the contraction for several seconds. There are variations to these procedures.

Any golfer should be aware of the stresses the game places on certain muscles, and would do well to properly warm up and take proper action in the event pain does result.

Do I have to worry about housing when I travel?

One of the benefits of traveling with Ardor Health is that you do not have to worry about your housing arrangements. Unless you have your own accommodations to the city you are traveling to, Ardor Health will be more than happy to take care of every aspect of the housing process. Ardor Health provides fully furnished, private, housing in the form of apartments, condos, or hotels, whichever suits you best. The best part is that every expense of the house is 100% covered. Lori, our housing manager, will always personally work with you to find the perfect place for you on your new assignment!
