Under the direction of new franchise owner Matt Rodgers, the Washington office will provide staffing services to health care facilities in Tacoma and Seattle. An experienced entrepreneur, Mr. Rodgers has nearly 20 years of operations and management experience in the human capital and franchise business arena including key leadership roles in the commercial staffing business. Mr. Rodgers states, "I'm pleased to become a part of the Interim franchise network. I place a great value on franchising and respect the systems, training, brand recognition and 'family' associated with being a franchise owner. I look forward to not only becoming a resource to hospitals serving my area, but also becoming a role model to other Interim franchises." The new office in Texas is owned by a consortium of experienced information technology staffing business owners. The office is operated by Raj Patel and will offer medical staffing services to hospitals and other facilities in the Houston/Harris County area. Mr. Patel and his partners have extensive business experience in managing a large, privately owned IT enterprise with locations in California and Texas. Mr. Patel comments on his new ownership of an Interim staffing franchise, "Houston is a large health care market and we are excited about the opportunity to respond to the nursing shortage that facilities are experiencing by providing quality health care personnel. We look forward to providing services with such a reputable brand name and to the rewards associated with being in the business of caring for people." Michael Schundler, President and CEO of Interim HealthCare states, "We are happy to welcome new franchise owners Matt Rodgers and Raj Patel to the Interim franchise family of owners. With their previous leadership experience and entrepreneurial spirit, we anticipate both owners will be successful at becoming the staffing provider of choice to hospitals and facilities in their respective markets. Interim HealthCare has been in the health care staffing business for nearly 40 years. During that time, the company has built its reputation on the belief that long-term relationships with facilities and nurses are the key to success.
