Building with Purpose: ESC Welcomes Experienced Healthcare Staffing Leaders

by | Apr 29, 2026

Eastern Shawnee Companies (ESC) continues to expand its healthcare staffing solution with the addition of three experienced professionals: Trey Strecker, Daniel Matus, and Barbara “Babs” Klinock.

These hires represent more than individual expertise—they reflect a deliberate approach to building a team that already understands how to operate together in complex healthcare staffing environments.

Each of these professionals has a strong background supporting healthcare staffing programs, particularly within tribally-owned organizations serving federal and tribal clients. Their shared experience brings immediate alignment across operations, compliance, and client delivery—key elements in executing staffing programs effectively.

Leadership with Proven Experience

  • Trey Strecker | General Manager, Eastern Shawnee Staffing Solutions
    Brings 10+ years of experience in healthcare administration and operations, including leadership roles supporting large-scale provider networks and tribally-owned healthcare staffing organizations. Known for driving efficiency, growth, and high-quality delivery across federal and tribal health systems.
  • Daniel Matus | Director, Healthcare Staffing
    Brings 27+ years of experience in government account management, with deep expertise in compliance, contract execution, and MSP environments. Extensive experience supporting VA, IHS, and state and local contracts, with a strong focus on operational efficiency and regulatory alignment.
  • Barbara “Babs” Klinock | Senior Recruiter, Healthcare Staffing
    Brings 18+ years of experience in healthcare recruiting and locum tenens staffing, with deep expertise supporting IHS facilities nationwide. Known for building strong talent pipelines, optimizing recruiting processes, and consistently exceeding hiring goals.

A Team Built for Execution

By bringing in a team that has worked together previously, ESC benefits from an established rhythm—communication, processes, and expectations are already aligned. This allows the organization to focus less on ramp-up and more on delivering results for clients.

This approach reflects ESC’s broader strategy: building solutions that are not only compliant and competitive, but also structured to perform from the outset.

Supporting a Growing Healthcare Staffing Solution

This team will play a central role in advancing ESC’s healthcare staffing practice, which is being delivered primarily through its subsidiary, Eastern Shawnee Staffing Solutions (ESSS).

Through ESSS, Eastern Shawnee Companies provides responsive, compliant, and high-quality staffing support across federal and tribal healthcare environments. Backed by the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma, this capability reflects a broader commitment to building sustainable solutions that support both client missions and long-term economic opportunity.

With this team in place, ESC is well-positioned to continue expanding its healthcare staffing capabilities while delivering reliable, mission-focused support to its partners.
