Our History

A-1 Medical Staffing has a long, reliable history of providing healthcare staff to local businesses.  In 2010, we began as the healthcare division of A-1 CAREERS, a company founded in 2000 to provide professional staffing services in various industries.  Together, we set a mission to help people build their careers while supporting our customer's efforts to maintain a quality team.  


In 2019, we incorporated as a separate company, A-1 Medical Staffing, with locations in Des Moines and Bettendorf, Iowa. We committed to providing healthcare staffing solutions to help medical companies in the Midwest with Per Diem, Contract, Travel Nursing and Direct Hire options. 


Our office teams include dedicated Health Care Staffing Professionals who have experience in clinical or administrative roles in the healthcare settings that we service.  We understand your needs and the importance of being fully staffed in healthcare. 


Mission & Vision

 To empower healthcare excellence by providing custom staffing solutions, fostering a compassionate workforce and ensuring seamless collaboration with our clients for optimal patient care.  


In our pursuit of excellence, our vision is to enhance the future of healthcare delivery through tailored staffing solutions and a commitment to elevating the well-being of patients, healthcare professionals and the local communities we serve.
