Advantage RN, a national health care staffing company, has acquired PHS Staffing

Advantage RN, a national health care staffing company, has acquired PHS Staffing, an $18 million medical staffing firm servicing health care facilities in Southern and Northern California, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah.

With the PHS Staffing acquisition, Advantage company-wide revenues are estimated to be $80 million this year, according to the company.

“PHS Staffing’s focus on per diem staffing, along with their extensive experience in government and Allied contracting, is a valuable addition to Advantage’s service offerings,” said Matt Price, Advantage RN’s president and CEO. “Their strong presence in the Western states will further expand our Advantage On Call per diem staffing efforts while strengthening our ability to meet the changing staffing needs of medical facilities and job seekers across the country.”

Headquartered at 8892 Beckett Road in West Chester Twp., Advantage RN serves more than 400 health care facilities nationwide with more than 500 traveling temporary health care professionals and 90 internal employees in offices located in Ohio; Charlotte, N.C.; Clearwater and Delray Beach, Fla.; San Diego, Calif.; and Sheridan, Wyo.

Founded in 2005, PHS Staffing is a former division of Premier Healthcare Services. The company manages more than 200 health care providers in addition to 45 internal employees from its San Diego headquarters. PHS got its start in Las Vegas, where it met the health care staffing needs of hospitals, schools, and government health care facilities and correctional institutions. The company quickly expanded into California, Arizona, and Utah to deliver similar services.
