International SOS Government Medical Services

The organization operates in over 90 countries with more than 1,200 locations and employs approximately 13,000 staff, including 5,200 medical and behavioral health providers. The company delivers customized medical solutions to organizations with international operations, including direct clinical care at over 800 sites worldwide, many with inpatient capabilities. Their services range from freestanding surgical facilities in remote and austere environments to telemedicine consultations across various virtual modalities. For nurses, International SOS offers a unique practice environment unlike traditional hospital settings. Nursing roles may involve deployment to remote or austere locations, coordination of medical services across international borders, and participation in global health operations. The company's Sarasota, FL presence serves as a U.S. operational hub. Nursing professionals here may work in roles such as Nurse Coordinator or Registered Nurse, supporting global medical operations rather than providing care in a conventional hospital setting. The work is characterized by its global scope, cross-cultural interactions, and mission-driven focus on protecting workforces in challenging environments.

International SOS's stated purpose is 'saving lives and protecting global workforces from health and security threats.' The organization cultivates a culture where individuals feel 'heard, respected, and empowered to contribute.' Their approach is consultative, recognizing that there is no 'one-size-fits-all' approach to workforce security and health. They emphasize prevention, real-time actionable insights, and on-the-ground quality delivery, working across multicultural teams of medical, security, logistics, and digital experts.
