Built from Experience.
Structured for What Healthcare Actually Needs.


Luna Companies was built by operators who spent years inside some of the largest healthcare staffing firms in the country and saw firsthand what the industry was getting wrong. Shawn Dargusch, Founder and CEO, grew up in a rural community raised by a nurse. That background shaped everything. The gaps he witnessed in underserved healthcare markets were not abstract problems. They were personal ones.

Dave Leach joined as Founding Partner and COO, bringing his own deep roots in physician staffing and a shared conviction that the model needed to be rebuilt from the ground up.

Together with a leadership team that brings well over 100 years of combined experience across locum staffing, permanent placement, and workforce management, they built Luna Companies not in theory, but from the realities of what healthcare organizations actually need.

There are 720 rural hospitals at risk of closure in the United States. Traditional staffing models often prioritize volume, short term placements, and fragmented vendor relationships, leaving the facilities that need the most support to manage on their own. Luna was built to change that. Not by being everything to everyone, but by being everything to the communities and organizations we commit to serving.

We Exist to Make an Impact
Where it Matters Most


Every decision we make is built around your facility, your community, and the outcomes that matter to you.


Image

Mission


To transform how healthcare organizations manage their workforce so that the communities they serve never feel the impact of instability, vacancies, or gaps in care.

Image

Vision


A future where no community, rural, underserved, or overlooked, ever has to go without the clinical talent it needs to deliver consistent, high quality care.


What sets
Luna Companies Apart

What sets Luna Companies Apart


Luna Companies is not a traditional staffing firm and not just a technology platform. It is a unified approach designed to solve the workforce challenges healthcare organizations face today.

It is a unified approach designed to solve the workforce challenges healthcare organizations face today.

Built for underserved and complex markets


Luna Companies focuses on the facilities often overlooked by national firms. Rural hospitals, community health systems, and high complexity environments where staffing gaps directly impact care delivery.

Built for organizations facing critical backlogs


Some of the most urgent workforce challenges are not in underserved communities. They are in large facilities managing imaging backlogs, procedure queues, and patient volumes that have outpaced their current staffing model. Luna Companies builds solutions around those realities too.

One system, one relationship


Instead of managing multiple vendors, platforms, and contracts, Luna Companies provides a single, aligned partner across staffing, search, and workforce management.

Transparency built into the model


Clear pricing. No hidden fees. No incentives that work against the client. Luna Companies' model is designed to align with the outcomes healthcare organizations actually need.

Designed for sustained workforce stability


Every engagement is structured with the long term in mind. Temporary coverage is not the end goal. It is part of a broader strategy to reduce dependency and build lasting teams.


The Principles Behind Every Decision We Make


Everything we do is grounded in how we believe healthcare workforce partnerships should work for facilities, for clinicians, and for the communities they serve.

Everything we do is grounded in how we believe healthcare workforce partnerships should work
for facilities, for clinicians, and for the communities they serve.


Integrity


We do what we say, every time. No exceptions, no excuses. If we make a commitment to your facility or your clinicians, we see it through to the end.

Honesty


We tell you what your workforce situation actually looks like, even when it's uncomfortable. A clear picture is worth more than a favorable one.

Commitment


Every relationship we build is meant to last. We don't show up for the placement and disappear. We stay invested in your operation.

Image

Purpose


We exist to support care continuity in the communities that need it most. Rural hospitals and underserved health systems aren't afterthoughts in our model. They're the reason it was built.

Transparency


We bring full visibility to everything we do. Pricing is clear, data is accessible, and you will always know exactly what you are paying, who is delivering, and whether it is working.

Partnership


We bring market knowledge to every conversation so you can make informed workforce decisions with context most staffing firms never share.
