In 2004, The Joint Commission's Healthcare Staffing Services Certification Program was launched to offer an independent evaluation of a staffing firm's ability to provide competent staffing services. In 2005, First Assist was one of the first staffing services firms in the country to achieve certification on a companywide basis and continues to uphold these standards today. With JCAHO's rigorous Healthcare Staffing Certification requirements, clients can now be more confident than ever that the supplemental staff they hire through First Assist meets an elevated bar of professional competence.
