With Joint Commission accreditation and recruiting teams that have placed thousands of professionals across the healthcare industry, Elite365 is improving the total experience for talent and transforming outcomes by providing healthcare workforce solutions that include:
“Elite365 was born out of the combined power of Cunningham Elite Staffing and Oak Healthcare Staffing with the goal of providing highly-skilled nursing solutions for acute care in hospitals and in long-term care facilities,” says Elite365 CEO Tracy Clark.
McKinsey predicts a dire nursing shortage – up to a 20% talent gap – by 2025, coupled with the fact that there are not enough nurses graduating to fill open positions over the next 10 years. Elite365 helps position hospital systems and medical facilities to overcome shortages with both contract and shift workers for urgent gap coverage, temporary support or long-term placement.
“Our value is twofold,” says Clark. “Not only do we help healthcare organizations weather nursing shortages and the budget challenges that go along with that, we also ensure nurses get the care, respect, flexibility, and financial rewards they deserve as skilled medical professionals.
I’m excited about the future of Elite365 and partnering with some of today’s largest hospital systems to bridge the nursing gap.”
Elite365 champions success by matching each nurse with a Clinical Nurse Advocate. These advocates provide workplace support and mentorship by coaching nurses through challenges and answering on-the-job questions. They also support clients by ensuring the nurses who are placed are clinically suited and well-skilled for the job—leading to greater communication, job satisfaction, and improved patient care.
In addition to placing domestic nurses, Elite365 has unprecedented access to highly qualified, talented international nurses who desire to live and work in the United States. These nurses can hit the ground running on day one and augment the healthcare workforce through temp-to-perm placement.

Additionally, Oak Healthcare Staffing announced its acquisition of Washington state-based Cunningham Elite Staffing. The combined firm’s recruiting and leadership teams have placed thousands of top RNs, LPNs, and CNAs across the healthcare industry and will transform the travel experience for talent and improve workforce outcomes.
Oak Healthcare Staffing elevates the travel nurse experience by providing concierge-level care, premium pay, and placements in choice destinations across the U.S. Instead of travel nurses managing their own travel, Oak Healthcare Staffing offers fully covered and coordinated travel, commuting, and top-notch hotel accommodations.
Additionally, every travel nurse is paired with a nurse advocate, a valuable resource that has been traditionally lacking across the industry. These advocates provide clinical oversight and support nurses through mentorship and by addressing on-the-job questions and challenges. They also support clients by ensuring the nurses who are placed are clinically suited and well-skilled for the job—leading to greater communication, job satisfaction, and improved patient care.
“Seeing the hardships nurses and hospital systems are facing, our leadership team was galvanized to rekindle the spirit of travel nursing to support them,” says Oak Healthcare Staffing CEO Tracy Clark. “We are proud to pioneer this superior approach and believe it will set a new standard of care for nurses, hospitals, and patients.”
Clark co-founded Oak Healthcare Staffing alongside his long-time business partner Don Dimick. Clark is a strategic visionary with decades of executive experience as CEO of several large healthcare organizations. Dimick is serving as Chief Talent Officer and has more than 20 years of extensive human resources and recruiting experience in healthcare, applicant tracking systems, and talent management and development.
“We want to make travel nursing a brighter, better career destination,” says Dimick. “This fresh approach supports nurses at every stage so they are eager to learn, committed to excellent teamwork, able to easily adapt to challenges, and driven to provide exceptional patient care.”
Strategic Acquisition of Cunningham Elite Staffing Expands Oak’s Footprint
With its recent acquisition of Cunningham Elite Staffing, Oak Healthcare Staffing has the ability to expand its travel nurse service to the West Coast. The acquisition also positions the organization to service long-term care facilities and enhance initiatives with certified nursing assistants. Cunningham Elite Staffing will maintain its brand and the Cunningham Elite Staffing team, including CEO Lael Hepworth, will be joining the Oak Healthcare Staffing platform.
“The Cunningham Elite Staffing organization, as a Joint Commission-certified Healthcare Staffing Services (HCSS) company, shares our core values of caring for nurses and providing exceptional customer service,” says Clark.
“We are excited to join Oak Healthcare Staffing and are fully aligned with its vision. The additional resources Oak Healthcare Staffing brings will enable our team to better serve our current clients and expand our services to more facilities,” says Trent Cunningham, the Principal and Founder of Cunningham Elite Staffing.
