Private equity firm Littlejohn Capital LLC announced today that it acquired Dayton, Ohio-based Alto Healthcare Staffing.
Alto was founded in 2003 by Leslie Kahn, a registered nurse. Alto’s three key business lines include clinical per diem temporary staffing, primarily for nursing homes and long-term care facilities; travel nurses to hospitals; and medical assistants to doctors’ offices.
“The healthcare staffing industry is experiencing dynamic growth, and Alto’s services have become a more viable and easily accessible option for healthcare facilities across the country,” said Angus Littlejohn III, president of Littlejohn Capital.
Littlejohn will join the Alto board of managers along with Littlejohn Capital Chairman Angus Littlejohn Jr. and longtime staffing industry executive Timothy McPherson.
McPherson had served as CEO of Hospitality Staffing Solutions, a former Littlejohn Capital portfolio company.
