Private equity firm MidOcean Partners acquired healthcare staffing provider GHR Healthcare from Houston-based private equity firm Platform Partners and other investors.
GHR ranked as the 33rd-largest US healthcare staffing firm in Staffing Industry Analysts’ list of largest healthcare staffing firms released last week. Its offerings include staffing in travel nursing, per diem nursing, allied health among other categories. GHR’s brands include General Healthcare Resources, GHR Travel Nursing, GHR RevCycle Workforce, GHR Education and others. The company was founded in 1993. It’s led by CEO John Quirk.
Terms of the transaction were not announced.
“Within our healthcare services initiatives, we identified healthcare staffing as a key thematic area for MidOcean based on the significant enduring labor supply and demand imbalance for healthcare professionals,” said Marc Aronstein, operating partner at MidOcean.
Aronstein also noted GHR is optimally positioned to address the staffing needs of healthcare providers.
MidOcean has experience in the staffing space. Prior investments include System One, which it sold in October 2016, and The Planet Group, which it sold in May 2021.
