(MENAFN- PR Newswire)

BLUE BELL, Pa., May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- GHR Healthcare, a national leader in healthcare staffing solutions, today announced it has acquired Barton Healthcare Staffing, the nurse and allied health staffing affiliate of Barton Associates, Inc. The transaction closed on May 3, 2025.

GHR's acquisition of Barton Healthcare Staffing expands its ability to provide flexible, client-centered staffing solutions, strengthening GHR's commitment to delivering scalable workforce solutions that support quality patient care nationwide.

Both organizations plan to collaborate closely going forward to meet the evolving needs of the healthcare workforce.

"We are excited to welcome Barton Healthcare Staffing's clients and clinicians to the GHR team. Our shared focus on quality and service makes this a natural fit and a great opportunity to deliver even more value nationwide," said John Quirk , CEO of GHR Healthcare.

April Hansen , CEO of Barton Associates, added:
