Additionally, we look forward to working with all of the talented healthcare candidates who have worked previously for ANS. This combination of firms will further enable Emerald to continue growing our leadership position in the healthcare staffing industry.”
Following the acquisition of ANS, Emerald services approximately 2,000 hospitals nationwide, and is one of the largest healthcare staffing firms in the nation. Emerald’s Joint Commission certification ensures that all of Emerald’s travel and per diem nurses are immediately ready to meet client hospitals’ most stringent professional credential requirements.
