Dedicated Nursing Associates Inc., or DNA, acquired Vital Medical Staffing, a per diem nurse staffing firm based in Charlotte, North Carolina, that provides 400 healthcare professionals to more than 130 facilities in North Carolina. The deal closed June 11.

The acquisition will increase DNA’s services throughout the Charlotte area. Plans call for DNA to combine Vital Medical Staffing’s operations into its existing Charlotte office.

Vital Medical Staffing’s management team will remain with the company, while the former owner is exiting the business.

DNA will now employ more than 10,000 caregivers to its more than 6,500 clients throughout the United States. 

DNA currently has eight offices that service all 50 states, providing travel nursing, per diem, home care, hospice care and MSP workforce solutions.
