Triage Medical Staffing, which ranks as the 35^th-largest US healthcare staffing firm, announced today it acquired Aspen Medical Staffing LLC, a physical therapist-owned firm that places rehabilitation therapy professionals in travel, contract and permanent positions.

Aspen was founded in 2014 and is based in St. Cloud, Minnesota.

“Our values and ambitions are so similarly aligned that joining forces with Aspen was a no-brainer,” said John Maaske, CEO of Triage. “Plus, our acquisition equips us with additional ways to connect with and provide value to first-time travelers.

Triage was founded in 2006 and is headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska.

Aspen CEO Neil Sauter said the deal would enable the firm to provide more jobs to travelers.
