Now back to our spotlighted team, Travel Experience. This team is a free resource that was created to make the traveling process more convenient for LRS Healthcare’s travelers.

Their process includes seeking various housing options and suggestions, getting to know you and your hobbies, so that they can find fun activities to suggest in the area of your new assignment, and utilizing existing and growing hotel and car vendor partnerships to get you the best deals possible.

At LRS Healthcare, our top priority is getting our healthcare travelers like yourself where you’re needed most while being upfront and transparent in our communication.

Whatever you fancy, a quiet hiking trail, nightlife, or sporting events, our Travel Experience team listens to your needs and researches your assignment destination. What’s the fun of traveling if you can’t maintain the same lifestyle as back home?

There is so much to explore in a new city, and we want our travelers to be able to check those boxes on their city bucket list.
