It has been learnt, that there has been an acquisition of AMN Healthcare Services, Inc., the largest healthcare staffing company of the United States of America and Pharmacy Choice, Inc., one of the most prominent providers of pharmacy staffing, workforce technology solutions, and on-line educational services for hospital-based and retail pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies in the recent days. It has come to the knowledge in this respect that the total cash consideration of up to $17.3 million is consisted of an early purchase payment and potential additional earn-out payments through 2009. However there is an expectation on the part of the company and that is to finance the acquisition using cash on hand. Speaking on this Susan Nowakowski, President and CEO of AMN Healthcare said, "Rx Pro Health is an innovator and leader in the pharmacy staffing industry and its addition to the AMN organization fits perfectly into our strategy of continuing to offer the most comprehensive clinical staffing solutions to our clients. The founders, Stephen Croke and Richard Barnhart, and the entire team at Rx Pro Health are very entrepreneurial and we share similar values and a passionate commitment to providing innovative staffing solutions and best-in class service to all we serve." To this Stephen Croke, President and co-founder of Rx Pro Health, "Our industry leading Web portal and job board have played a vital role in changing the way that leading pharmacy and pharmaceutical companies recruit, staff and train pharmacists, pharmacy directors, students, technicians, and other healthcare professionals," said. "I'm confident that with this combination we'll have the flexibility and resources needed to continue our innovation and pursue new market opportunities for our company and pharmacist associates."
