A&A Staffing Healthcare Services history

By the time it finally incorporated in 1978, it had 72 offices located through the United States.

In August 1986, it agreed to be acquired by a competitor, Tender Loving Care Health Care Services Inc. (TLC) of the New York City suburb Lake Success.

The combined company, then known as Tender Loving Care Services, Inc., acquired another temp business, Professional Care Inc. in September 1987.

However, rather than doubling its revenues by 1988, as the firm's leadership predicted, sales dropped nearly 20 percent.

In December 1989, the company reported a fourth quarter loss of $30.4 million.

By spring 1990, it had opened 25 franchise branches.

On the positive side, by February 1992 Staff Builders had won Medicare certification--required by most large insurance companies of health care providers--for 37 of its facilities and hoped all of its branches would be certified by the end of the year.

By June 1993, Staff Builders was the nation's fourth largest provider of home health care, an industry with estimated yearly revenues of $15 billion.

By December 1994, when Staff Builders moved its headquarters to a larger building, its home health care services accounted for 91 percent of its annual revenues.

In May 1995, an African-American resident of New Haven, Connecticut, complained to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that the company had ended service after she moved into a housing project that was barred by the company's guidelines from being visited by its personnel.

In June 1997, Staff Builders' subsidiary ATC Healthcare Services acquired medical temp firm Nursing Management Services (USA) from the Premier Health Group plc of the United Kingdom.

After the TLC spin-off was completed in October 1999, Stephen Savitsky, Staff Builders' chairman and CEO, assumed the same positions at TLC.

September – In the wake of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, AMN Healthcare team members raise more than $32,000 for American Red Cross relief efforts.

Revenues increased by 20 percent in 2002, a real turnaround for the once-troubled company.

In June 2003, ATC signed an agreement with Travel Choice Staffing of Tampa, Florida, to establish what it called a traveling radiology division that would supply radiology workers where needed throughout the United States.

October – AMN Cares, the company’s community service program, receives the 2005 National Public Service Award from the American Staffing Association.
