ConfluenceMedical Group, PLLCOpen jobsAbout CMG
Confluence Medical Group is a physician- and veteran-led healthcare and imaging company serving physicians, healthcare facilities, imaging organizations, commercial customers and government customers.
Why Confluence exists
Dr. James F. Wiedenhoefer founded CMG after years of practicing radiology and working locum tenens. Through his own experience, he saw how administrative overhead, unclear pricing and multiple layers between a physician and a facility could create misalignment.
Physicians could feel that too much of the value they created disappeared into the staffing structure while healthcare organizations still faced high coverage costs. CMG was built as a smaller alternative—not on the assumption that every staffing firm operates the same way, but on a belief that the model could be more direct.
That philosophy still guides the company: operate efficiently, communicate clearly, support thoughtful provider compensation, remove unnecessary layers and build relationships meant to extend beyond one coverage assignment.
“The entire CMG team serves alongside our healthcare providers.”
Dr. James F. Wiedenhoefer Founder & CEO
The founder's perspective
Practicing radiology and working locum tenens gave Dr. Wiedenhoefer direct exposure to the realities physicians face when they work through staffing organizations. That perspective informs how CMG evaluates opportunities, communicates expectations and approaches radiologist recruiting and coverage.
As a retired U.S. Air Force Colonel, he brought a service-minded view of leadership into CMG: accept responsibility, support the team, remain accountable and follow through on commitments.
He built CMG around the belief that fewer unnecessary layers could create better alignment among physicians, healthcare organizations and the staffing company. The goal is not simply to fill a shift; it is to understand both sides well enough to build a working relationship.
Our operating philosophy
A physician-led foundation means learning the clinical and operational realities of a coverage need before trying to solve it.
Support does not end when an assignment begins. CMG remains involved with providers and healthcare organizations throughout the relationship.
Compensation, expectations, scheduling and communication should be as clear as possible for everyone involved.
Efficient operations help preserve more value for physicians and healthcare organizations instead of consuming it through avoidable layers.
The goal is not one shift or one placement. Strong working relationships create better long-term outcomes for providers, organizations and CMG.
Leadership & support
The people handling the work are the people providers and healthcare organizations come to know. They understand the assignment, the organization and the relationship behind it.
