Houston-based Mint provides locum tenens staffing, while Lotus Medical, based in West Palm Beach, Florida, provides locum tenens and permanent placement staffing.

“We are pleased to have Mint and Lotus join the Cross Country team as we continue to build our locum tenens platform,” Cross Country President and CEO John Martins said. “Their wealth of expertise will help support the growing demand we have seen in the rapidly evolving locum tenens landscape.”

Cross Country ranks as the sixth-largest US healthcare staffing firm, according to Staffing Industry Analysts.
