Acacium Group, a London-based healthcare and clinical/scientific staffing provider, announced it has acquired Sumo Medical Staffing, a specialist locum tenens firm based in Utah.

Sumo Medical Staffing places qualified physicians and advanced practice providers in temporary and permanent positions across the US. It places medical professionals in specialties including psychiatry, internal medicine, hospitalists, family medicine, ER/urgent care and pediatrics. 

Together with Favorite Healthcare Staffing, which was acquired by Acacium in 2022, this partnership gives Acacium Group a substantially larger presence across the US, expanding the staffing offering to clients and strengthening the group’s position as a leading global healthcare delivery partner. 

“Sumo Medical Staffing is an outstanding healthcare business that expands our staffing and workforce management offering to our clients in the US,” Acacium Group CEO Mike Barnard said. “Sumo has a proven record of success and is closely aligned with our values in their commitment to excellence and putting people first. Acacium Group has ambitious plans to grow globally in a way that positively impacts society, and Sumo Medical Staffing will play an important part in helping that happen.”

Sumo will continue to be led by its founding owners, Jeff Parker, Kevin Anderson and Boyd Waters, who have extensive healthcare experience to bring to the group. Sumo will operate as part of Acacium Group’s US Healthcare Staffing Division under Chief Operating Officer Christopher Brink.

“This new partnership will enable us to access expertise and resources that can further strengthen our offering to clients and healthcare professionals. Our dedication remains the same, with an unwavering focus on delivering excellence and quality service,” Parker, Sumo’s CEO, said.
