ABOUT US
Carolinas Association of Provider Services (CAPS)
We are a not-for-profit organization of hospital-based and private practice provider recruiters in:
- North Carolina
- South Carolina
- Coastal Georgia
- Eastern Tennessee
- Southern Virginia

The Carolinas Association of Provider Services held its first official meeting in April, 1994 in Lumberton, NC, with 23 hospital representatives present. From this meeting, CAPS was formed and objectives were established.
These include…
- To bring together persons engaged or interested in hospital and practice provider services in North Carolina , South Carolina, Coastal Georgia, Eastern Tennessee, and Southern Virginia
- To improve technical skills and promote a broadened understanding of the scope and the ethics of the profession, to assist, support, and encourage provider services personnel
- To serve as a resource organization in service to members and non-members alike in the provider services within our communities, to promote an awareness of the value of provider recruitment services within the management of hospitals
- To promote and encourage the development of provider services’ department and programs within our communities
- To recognize that effective provider service practices achieve broader understanding and support among various constituencies of our members.
Our board is comprised of experienced physician and advanced provider recruitment professionals that span multiple healthcare systems, size and scope of private and public organizations, clinical specialties and diversified cultures. The CAPS committees and its volunteer members tirelessly dedicate their time and talent which has made CAPS the premier association of AAPPR.
