Company History
Orchard Corp was founded in 2010 in Glencoe, Illinois, by Dr. N. Ram Saladi, a practicing hospitalist, with Indira Saladi serving as President. Built on a clinically governed approach to locum tenens staffing, Orchard secured its first major multi-site health system partnership in 2012, followed by additional regional partnerships in 2013 and 2018, doubling its hospital medicine coverage footprint by 2015 and expanding into additional physician specialties by 2017. From 2020 to 2023, Orchard established international operational hubs, launched telehealth coverage beginning with neurology, formed additional health system partnerships, expanded into a large Catholic health system, and integrated with vendor management system (VMS) and managed service provider (MSP) platforms to support nationwide assignments. In 2024, Orchard continued its international expansion by establishing a third operational hub and secured additional national vendor management and health system agreements, strengthening its position as a nationwide staffing partner. In 2025, Orchard celebrated 15 years of continuous operations with no malpractice lawsuits and a provider fallout rate below 1%. That year, James Cantrell joined as Orchard’s first Chief Executive Officer, working alongside President and Board Director Indira Saladi and Medical Director and Co-Founder Dr. N. Ram Saladi to lead the company’s next phase of growth. In 2026, Orchard was awarded a Federal Supply Schedule contract under Schedule 621I (Contract No. 36F79726D0135), authorizing it to provide locum tenens services to federal healthcare facilities nationwide, including Veterans Affairs and Indian Health Service facilities. Orchard also submitted a comprehensive proposal to become a staffing partner for a major public safety-net health system, marking its largest enterprise engagement to date.
