HCL Aya Healthcare buys San Diego-based Locums Unlimited

US healthcare staff supplier Aya Healthcare has acquired San Diego-based firm Locums Unlimited. The purchase gives Aya direct recruiting capacity as part of its Aya Partner Network, while CEO Alan Braynin revealed the company had added locums services to its Aya Connect platform, which has helped secure $200m in managed service contracts in the past 12 months.

SAN DIEGO, May 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Aya Healthcare, the largest privately held travel nurse staffing and healthcare workforce solutions provider in the country, acquired Locums Unlimited on May 20, 2018, a locum tenens staffing company located in San Diego, Calif. The company will operate as a subsidiary of Aya Healthcare.

Locums Unlimited specializes in the nationwide placement of physicians in locum tenen and temp to perm jobs. The company brings over 25 years combined experience to the healthcare staffing community and offers top-of-the line providers to their clients.

"We're excited to join Aya Healthcare," said Sigrid Boring, President of Locums Unlimited. "By joining forces with Aya, we'll be able to expand our clientele to make an even bigger impact in the industry."

Aya has added a significant number of locums agencies through the Aya Partner Network recently, but the acquisition of Locums Unlimited will give it direct recruiting capacity to further deliver enhanced locums services to its facility clients.

"In this ever-changing industry, it's critical that we evolve with the needs of our clients to provide them with the best value and experience," said Alan Braynin, President and CEO of Aya Healthcare.

Aya also announced that locums services are now available through its Aya Connect platform – the industry's most intuitive software platform to manage the procurement of contingent labor.

"Our clients have been asking us to deliver locums through our Aya Connect platform, and now we can," added Braynin.

Aya continues to experience rapid growth and has added over $200 million in new managed service contracts on Aya Connect over the last 12 months. With this new acquisition, locum tenens staffing will be added to Aya's already robust suite of healthcare staffing and workforce solutions offerings which include travel nurse, allied and per diem staffing, clinical services, MSP solutions and the Aya Connect platform.
