Ingenovis Health to Acquire HealthCare Support

Acquisition to Accelerate Growth of Leading Tech-Enabled Platform for Healthcare Staffing, Backed by Cornell Capital and Trilantic North America

Ingenovis Health, Inc. ("Ingenovis" or the “Company”), a leading tech-enabled platform for healthcare staffing backed by private investment firms Cornell Capital and Trilantic North America, today announced that it has agreed to acquire HealthCare Support (“HSS”), a national healthcare staffing platform providing a full range of customized hiring solutions across the United States.

Formed by the combination of trustaff, CardioSolution, Fastaff Travel Nursing®, U.S. Nursing Corporation®, and Stella.ai, Ingenovis Health is one of the fastest-growing providers of healthcare staffing. The Company uses a holistic approach that encompasses shared services and maximized technologies to create significant efficiencies in generating jobs and helping healthcare facilities and systems bring clinicians to the bedside.

Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Orlando, Florida, HealthCare Support is one of the largest allied healthcare staffing companies in the country, partnering with clients to hire professionals from administrative to executive levels in both clinical and non-clinical roles. The acquisition of HSS will support Ingenovis Health’s strategy of growing its platform both organically and through acquisitions of strong, well-run businesses to further expand service offerings, meet increasing demand for healthcare staffing, and create the platform of choice for employers and jobseekers in the healthcare industry.

“Since its founding, HealthCare Support has been a true differentiator, with national reach, diversified offerings across a wide range of healthcare settings, and a long track record of growth,” said Bart Valdez, CEO of Ingenovis Health. “We are excited to add such a high-performing business to the Ingenovis platform along with HSS management, who have decades of industry experience and a demonstrated ability to execute and scale. We share a commitment to providing much-needed staffing services across the healthcare industry, and we look forward to adding HSS employees’ knowledge and passion to the Ingenovis team as we accelerate our growth plans.”

“This is a pivotal time for the healthcare industry, and we see tremendous growth opportunities in joining forces with Ingenovis to enhance its leadership in healthcare staffing,” said Chris Abel, President of HealthCare Support. “We are impressed with what Bart, the Ingenovis management team, and the Company’s partners at Cornell Capital and Trilantic North America have built already. We look forward to partnering together and, through our combined scale and blue-chip client relationships across brands, helping more healthcare providers address their staffing needs to achieve our collective goals.”

“The acquisition of HSS will further enhance and diversify the Ingenovis platform as we execute our targeted acquisitive growth strategy,” said Stephen Trevor, Partner of Cornell Capital, and Jeremy Lynch, Partner of Trilantic North America. “HSS has been a consistent outperformer with its client-centric business model and scalable, cloud-based technology infrastructure. Together, the combined business is well positioned to continue capturing market share and driving greater impact for clients across the healthcare industry.”

Citizens Bank, N.A. and UBS Securities LLC are acting as joint lead arrangers for the transaction. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2022, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
