Qualivis, a wholly owned subsidiary of healthcare staffing firm Aya Healthcare, signed a deal to acquire the Chesapeake Registry Program, a division of the Maryland Hospital Association. The acquisition is expected to close on March 1.
“Covid-19 has made staffing needs increasingly urgent and critical to expand capacity,” said Meghan McClelland, chief operating officer of the Maryland Hospital Association. “Our most important job is to respond to the needs of our members, so we’re pleased to join forces with Qualivis to simplify, enhance and streamline the entire staffing process from end to end.”
The Chesapeake Registry Program was originally established by the Maryland Hospital Association to assist healthcare facilities with supplemental staffing needs through contracts with nursing and allied health agencies.
