Leah Mikal Gillham is a leader in healthcare staffing and locum tenens coverage. Her impressive career in the medical and dental industry exemplifies her dedication to improving patient care.

Gillham, director of medical and dental staffing at Anyplace MD, has had a significant impact on the company’s operation since 2022, concentrating on contracts, business growth, and strategy. Recently, she increased billing for a client from $17,000 to over $100,000 in accounts receivable within three months. This accomplishment demonstrates Gillham’s dedication to client-centered care, inventive problem-solving, and the development of solid, long-term connections with clients. 

Gillham’s leadership duties at Anyplace MD include overseeing financial projections, account receivables, profit and loss, internal recruiting, and compliance initiatives. Her ability to perform in a variety of areas, including contract creation and sales strategy, has helped Anyplace MD establish itself as a valued partner to hospitals and healthcare institutions around the country. Before taking on her current position, she was the interim division manager and medical staffing sales representative at Anyplace MD.

Gillham started her career with Barton Associates Inc. in 2018, where she worked as an account manager and group sales manager until 2021. Her exceptional sales performance, along with her capacity to drive business development, secured her these positions, establishing the groundwork for her future success in healthcare staffing. From there, Gillham expanded her knowledge of business development while working as a senior business development consultant at Austin Fraser from 2021 to 2022. These jobs provided Gillham with the necessary expertise and insight to take Anyplace MD to new heights.

Gillham credits her perseverance and her father’s influence as key drivers of her success. Overcoming personal challenges, she remained committed to making a significant impact in healthcare. Gillham has also prioritized deliberate networking, interacting with experts she can assist and cooperate with, whether they are clients, candidates, or industry colleagues. 

Gillham is dedicated to giving back to the community. She volunteers with the local community, and her commitment to service is an integral part of who she is. In her spare time, Gillham enjoys outdoor activities like wake surfing. 

Looking ahead, Gillham intends to take full ownership of Anyplace MD, expand the company by hiring top talent, and strengthen client partnerships. She aims to lead the organization’s future growth with the ultimate goal of establishing her own medical staffing company.
