About CORE Staffing
CORE Staffing is a healthcare staffing company located in the Midwest that has a reputation for excellence. The CORE you see today is a combination of two complimentary businesses, both founded by clinicians.
Vital Nurse Staffing was started in 2007 by Chuck Stadler, Jr., a nurse in Frankenmuth Michigan. In 2017, Chuck purchased C.O.R.E. Respiratory services; a respiratory therapist staffing agency located in Minnesota.
With both businesses having the same reputation for excellence, we knew it was the right time to join forces. In 2019, Vital Nurse Staffing and C.O.R.E Respiratory became CORE Staffing. We now specialize in nurse staffing, respiratory therapist staffing, allied health and also provide staffing in other specialties and clinical areas as needed with our clients. With our commitment to quality, trust, and commitment leading our growth initiatives, CORE Staffing provides services across the United States, and especially in the Midwest.
CORE also provides custom eLearning services and onsite education in BLS, ACLS, PALS, and NRP. In 2015, CORE created a division dedicated solely to RT education and eLearning with clients including Medtronic, Corner Home Medical, and more.
Perhaps the greatest example of innovation was the creation of respiratory telehealth app rtNOW, a point-of-care resource for hospitals and skilled nursing facilities that puts nurses in touch with a respiratory therapist at the touch of a button. CORE offers a staff of dedicated professionals with extensive experience in all facets of respiratory and nursing in order to provide excellent and compassionate care necessary in today’s competitive marketplace, with attractive and negotiable contracts.
We cannot sustain success without an exceptionally talented and dynamic team of healthcare professionals to match the needs of our clients. We pride ourselves on finding the best possible fit for our staff and client’s needs so that we can ensure a seamless staffing transition and continuation of successful patient care. We continually recruit individuals with strong clinical skills, but more importantly the attitude and behaviors necessary to be effective in temporary environments.
