BLUE BELL, PA — GHR Healthcare recently acquired United Anesthesia, a prominent provider of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA) and Anesthesiologists staffing services. This acquisition is a strategic move to enhance GHR Healthcare’s advanced practice and locum tenens staffing capabilities.
Founded in 1979, United Anesthesia has built a strong presence nationwide, specializing in anesthesia staffing solutions. With over four decades of experience, the company brings significant expertise and industry knowledge to GHR Healthcare.
“We are excited to join forces with GHR Healthcare and bring our expertise in anesthesia staffing to a larger platform,” said Tracy Strother-Mayer, President and CEO of United Anesthesia. “This partnership will enhance our service offerings and provide greater opportunities for our employees, providers, and clients. Together, we will continue to deliver exceptional healthcare staffing solutions and make an impact on patient care across the United States.”
John Quirk, CEO of GHR Healthcare, praised United Anesthesia’s achievements. “Tracy and the United Anesthesia team have built a very successful business in locum tenens staffing services for anesthesiologists and CRNAs, serving health systems and surgery centers nationwide for over 45 years,” he said. “The cultures of GHR and UA align perfectly. Both are dedicated to providing superior customer service and creating tremendous professional opportunities for both contracted providers and internal team members. We couldn’t be more excited to help United Anesthesia grow from its already strong base while maintaining the elevated standards set by Tracy and her team.”
Marc Aronstein, Chairman of the Board for GHR Healthcare, highlighted the strategic importance of the acquisition. “GHR has been seeking a physician and advanced practice locum tenens staffing business to complement its existing healthcare staffing offering. We expect continued strong secular tailwinds due to the current and growing physician shortage in the United States. United Anesthesia plays a critical role in helping health systems meet their needs for staffing anesthesiologists and CRNAs, which are in short supply. We look forward to our partnership together.”
This acquisition marks a significant step in GHR Healthcare’s mission to expand its services and address the growing demand for specialized medical staff across the country.
