The Mission

Federal healthcare staffing,
screened by clinical instructors.

DPHC Staffing, LLC places Med/Surg RNs, LPNs, and Nurse Practitioners at VA facilities as a sub-teaming partner to ICSP prime contractors, with placement capability across ICU, Trauma, ER, and OR. Every candidate is evaluated by MSN-credentialed clinical instructors and employed on a locally licensed, W-2-only basis.

The Standard

Federal acuity doesn't forgive a license on paper.

VA facilities run high-acuity care for veterans who earned it. A resume keyword match and a phone screen can't tell a contracting officer whether a nurse can hold a neuro floor. DPHC was built on a different premise: clinicians should be vetted by clinicians.

The Screen

Vetted by clinicians, not recruiters.

MSN-credentialed clinical instructors evaluate every candidate against acuity-specific competencies before a name ever reaches a prime.

a

Competency review

Acuity-specific evaluation led by clinical instructors with charge-nurse operational experience.

b

Credential verification

NURSYS and OIG checks plus certification tracking: BLS, ACLS, TNCC, PALS, NRP, AWHONN, CPI.

c

Federal readiness

Federal background requirements and SCA compliance built into the screening workflow, not bolted on.

The Model

Locally licensed. W-2 only. Built to stay.

DPHC is not a travel nursing company. No stipends, no housing, no rotations. Clinicians hold local licenses and are employed as W-2 staff, with DPHC as the employer of record managing full payroll tax compliance. The result is stable placements and lower backfill risk for the prime.

a

Continuity over churn

Local clinicians stay. Facilities keep institutional knowledge instead of re-onboarding a new traveler every cycle, and the prime's performance record stays clean.

b

Compliance by design

W-2 employer-of-record structure with SCA-compliant payroll from day one. No 1099 ambiguity for the prime to absorb at audit time.

The Credit

Every DPHC dollar counts toward your SDVOSB goal.

DPHC is an SBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business. At the VA, where Vets First contracting priorities make SDVOSB participation a scored commitment, subcontract spend with DPHC counts toward your subcontracting goal. Clinical sourcing capacity becomes measurable small business credit on the same invoice.

Veteran-led. Clinician-governed.

Ownership and operations sit with a service-disabled veteran. Clinical standards sit with MSN-credentialed nurse leaders. Neither reports through the other's lane.
