  • Phoenix-Mesa, AZ (1888PressRelease) March 06, 2014 - Through this exclusive partnership, each company will expand the complement of services and products offered to healthcare clients in meeting critical executive leadership and senior management needs.

    Both companies are specialists in their respective areas. Philadelphia-based Kirby Bates Associates, owned and operated by nurse leaders for over 25 years, has focused on nursing and operational leadership in hospitals and health systems. Tempe-based NHS Solutions, an innovator in interim healthcare management, has introduced a novel, full-service interim management pricing model. Their partnership enables KBA to expand and improve interim management services for clients and interim candidates, and enables NHS Solutions to offer additional value-added services.

    The companies also jointly announced a national search for a new Chief Operating Officer (COO) who will be responsible for the operations of both companies. While both companies will retain independent branding at this time, they will exhibit together at the AONE Conference, March 12-15, 2014 in Orlando, Fla.
