Our History
First Assist was launched in 1986 to meet the demand for skilled healthcare staffing. Through the vision and dedication of founder Mary Richardson, an Operating Room Nurse, it has developed a national presence in supplemental healthcare services, particularly in travel nursing.
In recent years, quality of care has become a rallying cry in the healthcare industry. For over two decades, First Assist has pioneered this concept, steadily building an impeccable reputation as an organization that pairs industry-leading healthcare providers with top line staff.
First Assist delivers on travel or local contract, per-diem and permanent staffing needs for leading hospitals, surgery centers and outpatient facilities nationwide. We pride ourselves on providing a rapid response to client needs, driving delivery of care to consistently exceed expectations.
Our skilled staffing coordinators are ready to provide a rapid response 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to meet planned or urgent staffing needs.
