Independent medical practices continue to face rising costs, staffing challenges, and increasing operational complexity. To help address these pressures, Stitch PEO has partnered with Optimax Consulting Services to expand access to workforce solutions purpose-built for independent healthcare organizations.

Through this partnership, eligible Optimax clients can access exclusive benefit rates, expert HR support, and a unified workforce infrastructure designed to meet the unique needs of independent medical practices.

Supporting the Evolving Needs of Healthcare Practices

Independent practices are navigating a complex operational environment—balancing compliance, payroll, benefits administration, and people management while maintaining a high standard of patient care. This partnership brings together Optimax’s advisory expertise and Stitch’s healthcare-specific PEO model to deliver a cost-effective workforce solution that supports both employers and their teams.

Stitch enables independent practices to offer benefits that compete with those of larger healthcare systems, helping improve recruitment and retention while reducing administrative burden. Through the partnership, Optimax clients gain access to enhanced benefit packages, streamlined payroll, and simplified compliance support at preferred rates.

  • Enhanced Employee Benefits – Access to high-quality health plans, retirement options, and more through large-group purchasing power

  • Comprehensive HR Support – Full-service HR support, from onboarding through ongoing employee management
