BLUE BELL, PA — GHR Healthcare has announced the acquisition of Barton Healthcare Staffing, the nurse and allied health staffing branch of Barton Associates, Inc. The deal, finalized on May 3, 2025, strengthens GHR’s position as a leading provider of flexible, client-centered healthcare staffing solutions and enhances its nationwide support for quality patient care.
The acquisition brings Barton Healthcare Staffing’s clients and clinicians under the GHR umbrella, where they will benefit from GHR’s high-touch service model and operational expertise. This move not only expands GHR’s capabilities but also aligns with Barton’s strategic decision to focus exclusively on its core locum tenens business, which services physicians and advanced practice providers.
“This is a forward-looking, strategic decision that positions Barton for our next chapter of growth,” said April Hansen, CEO of Barton Associates. “As demand for physician and advanced practice staffing continues to rise, we’re doubling down on what we do best—delivering world-class locum tenens solutions at scale. We’re incredibly proud of the legacy our nurse and allied team has built, and confident GHR is a strong partner to carry that forward.”
Similarly, GHR Healthcare sees the acquisition as a natural fit. “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.
Both organizations have committed to ongoing collaboration as they adapt to the increasingly complex healthcare workforce landscape. With Barton focusing on its physician and advanced practice staffing expertise and GHR enhancing its nurse and allied health services, the acquisition positions both companies for sustainable growth and innovation.
This strategic partnership aims to provide a comprehensive range of healthcare staffing solutions to hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities. With the combined resources and expertise of GHR Healthcare and Barton Healthcare Staffing, clients can expect an expanded pool of highly qualified professionals, improved efficiency in recruitment processes, and a deep understanding of their unique staffing needs.
