CINCINNATI, Jan. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Health Carousel, a leading provider of healthcare workforce solutions, today announced the acquisition of Columbus, Ohio-based Medical Staffing Options. Concurrently, Health Carousel announced plans to hire 150 more people in 2017 across its locations in Dayton, Cincinnati, and Columbus.

Health Carousel’s second acquisition in two years is part of the company’s aggressive growth agenda, which includes expanding services and market share by acquiring high-quality healthcare staffing companies.

Post-acquisition, Health Carousel vaults into the Top-25 of SIA’s largest healthcare staffing firms in the United States.

“This is a very exciting time for us,” said MSO President Bob Gammill. “We’ve been growing for years, and joining a company like Health Carousel will enable us to accelerate our growth in the future.” Mr. Gammill will continue to lead the Columbus office and will join Health Carousel’s executive team as Senior Vice President.
