“This acquisition combines the power of CHG — the company who founded the locum tenens industry 40 years ago and still leads it today — with LocumsMart, the leading locums VMS solution that transformed the way clients use a VMS to manage their business,” said Scott Beck, CEO of CHG Healthcare. “This will create an unmatched experience for our clients.”

“CHG Healthcare has long been the gold standard for locum tenens staffing because of the quality of their providers and the service they offer their customers,” said Aaron Paul, CEO of LocumsMart. “We’re excited to use our technology to enhance the experience for CHG customers, while continuing to serve our healthcare clients across the country.”

LocumsMart will remain a standalone brand in the CHG family of companies.

CHG owns five healthcare staffing companies: CompHealth, Weatherby Healthcare, Global Medical Staffing, RNnetwork and Foundation Medical Staffing. The CHG family of companies places more than 15,000 providers worldwide, serving 28 million patients each year. 

CHG also acquired Modio Health, a cloud-based credentialing and career management solution for healthcare providers and organizations, in 2019. 

Founded in 1979, CHG employs more than 3,000 people throughout the United States.{/mprestriction}
