Medical Solutions acquired San Diego-based healthcare staffing firm Host Healthcare in a deal that closed Oct. 31.
Medical Solutions, based in Omaha, Nebraska, ranks as the third-largest US provider of travel nurses, while Host Healthcare ranks as the 17th largest.
“The timing was right for both of our organizations to align,” Medical Solutions CEO Craig Meier said. “The synergy that will evolve from leveraging the strengths of both companies will expand our market share and allow us to fulfill the rapidly growing needs of new and existing clients. The industry as a whole will benefit as we infuse more resources into the healthcare system pipeline.”
Plans call for the Host brand to remain.
Host Healthcare and focuses on nurse, allied and therapy staffing. This year, it ranked No. 15 on the Fastest-Growing US Staffing Firms list with $404.8 million in 2021 revenue. It was founded in 2012 by Adam Francis, who is CEO.
“Our Host Healthcare brand and company was built on trust, mutual respect, and strong values,” Francis said. “The foundation at Medical Solutions is built upon these same principles. Our travelers, customers and employees will all benefit from this acquisition, and I’m thrilled to be able to bring this opportunity to them.”
Francis will remain with the company.
Terms of the transaction were not announced.
