Soliant Health is a healthcare staffing company that provides medical staff to various healthcare facilities throughout the United States. The company is based in Atlanta, Georgia.[1]

History

In November 1991, Soliant Health was originally founded as Elite Medical by David Alexander, with the company initially specializing in travel healthcare.[2] Alexander interpreted a model set by retailer Nordstrom as a way to reduce turnover among his staff by boosting their morale, which in turn would increase the confidence of the healthcare workers they provided.[3] In July 2002, Elite Medical was acquired by Adecco Group North America (then MPS Group Inc.) and was rebranded in March 2003 as Soliant Health, with David Alexander appointed as its president.[2]
