Premier Healthcare Professionals acquires international nurse recruiting firm

Premier Healthcare Professionals, a healthcare staffing firm based in Atlanta, acquired Field Health Ltd., which operates under the Adevia Health brand.

“With the addition of Adevia Health, we are confident that PHP’s group revenues will exceed $140 million in 2021, up from $84 million in 2020,” said Eric Allison, director of corporate development at PHP.

Adevia Health is an international nurse recruiting firm based in London. The company also has locations in South Africa, Nepal, Germany and Italy.

The deal closed Oct. 1 and included 100% of Adevia Health. Terms of the transaction were not announced. Martyn Ward will remain CEO of Adevia and will lead PHP’s international division; Ward will be based in London.

“We are thrilled with the addition of Adevia Health and their team of 1,500 international RNs,” PHP CEO Chris Eales said. “PHP has ambitious plans for growth in the United States and through this significant step, we will gain critical mass, and more importantly, a solution to help US Hospitals and our VMS partners with their critical nurse staffing needs.”

This is PHP’s third acquisition in 12 months and the company plans more acquisitions in the near future. PHP is a travel nurse provider with operations in all 50 states.
