Mastech Holdings Inc. (NYSE MKT: MHH) sold its healthcare staffing businesses to Accountable Healthcare Staffing Inc. The deal took effect Aug. 11 and marks the seventh acquisition for Boca Raton, Fla.-based Accountable Healthcare since its inception in early 2012.

Mastech will get $1.15 million for its healthcare operations. That includes approximately $1.0 million in cash at closing plus the assumption of certain liabilities. Total assets to be sold exclude cash balances on hand, account receivables and other current assets which totaled approximately $1.5 million as of June 30 net of current liabilities, according to Mastech.

“This divestiture will allow Mastech to focus entirely on its core IT staffing business,” said Mastech CEO D.
