Background

About Jay Stone

I’m passionate about helping hospitals, healthcare systems, and specialty clinics build strong leadership teams that not only improve patient care but also drive lasting organizational success. As a Talent Search Partner with Career 1 Source, my focus is on connecting healthcare organizations with leaders who can navigate challenges, inspire their teams, and make a real impact. Whether it’s a critical access hospital or a specialty clinic, I understand that healthcare today requires more than just operational excellence, it demands vision, resilience, and leaders who truly align with the organization's values. At Career 1 Source, we believe talent is the ultimate competitive advantage. That’s why we’ve built our hiring process around four key pillar, alignment, assessment, process, and partnership. These pillars guide every search, ensuring that my clients don’t just find talented professionals, but also leaders who are the right cultural fit, drive growth, and support continuity in patient care. What excites me most about this work is the opportunity to make a meaningful difference. Strong leadership doesn’t just improve financial performance, it shapes the quality of care, the patient experience, and the culture within the organization. By helping my clients recruit and retain the right leaders, I feel like I’m contributing to healthier organizations, and ultimately, healthier communities. If you’re a hospital executive, clinic owner, or healthcare leader looking to strengthen your team, I’d love to connect. Let’s chat about how we can attract and retain the leaders who will guide your organization into the future.
