About Cross Country Healthcare INC

Cross Country Healthcare, Inc. (ticker: CCRN) is a U.S.-based healthcare workforce solutions company listed on the NASDAQ in the United States. Headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, the company has been active for nearly 40 years in healthcare staffing and workforce services. Its positioning goes beyond traditional recruitment: Cross Country offers an AI-powered digital platform, advisory services, and workforce optimization solutions designed to help health systems better manage staffing, control labor costs, and preserve continuity of care. ([ir.crosscountryhealthcare.com](https://ir.crosscountryhealthcare.com/)) The company operates through two reportable segments. Nurse and Allied Staffing covers temporary placements of nurses, allied health professionals, and related healthcare labor; Physician Staffing provides physicians, CRNAs, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants on temporary assignments. In 2024, these two segments represented roughly 85% and 15% of revenue, respectively. Cross Country serves a broad and diversified customer base across the United States, including acute-care and non-acute-care facilities, medical groups, managed care organizations, government facilities, and other healthcare providers. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1141103/000114036125039464/ny20055089x3_ars.pdf)) From a competitive perspective, Cross Country operates in a market supported by persistent healthcare labor shortages and strong demand from providers for flexible staffing models. The company emphasizes a wider service mix than a pure staffing agency, including MSP, VMS, in-home care services, education health services, RPO, project management, and consulting capabilities. That broader offering supports a more integrated value proposition for health systems seeking to optimize their entire labor ecosystem rather than simply fill open shifts.

On December 3, 2024, Cross Country entered into a merger agreement with Aya Healthcare. In February 2025, the companies received additional information requests from the FTC, and the company later indicated that closing was expected in the second half of 2025. However, as of May 6, 2026, Cross Country announced an all-cash acquisition by Knox Lane valued at $437 million. In parallel, the company continued to expand its technology-led offerings, including the May 2026 launch of an enhanced Optimé solution to power Intellify with more advanced forecasting and staffing optimization capabilities. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1141103/000114036125039464/ny20055089x3_ars.pdf)) For investors, CCRN is best viewed as a NASDAQ-listed U.S. healthcare staffing and workforce platform with exposure to cyclical labor demand, but also to structural healthcare staffing needs and technology-enabled workflow optimization.
