at the right time, while supporting our employee culture and
wellness," said Jacklynn Lesniak,

professionals, and with CareRev, we can continue to support our

Through CareRev's platform, FirstHealth staffing managers across
three Moore Regional Hospitals located in Pinehurst, Richmond, and Hoke,
North Carolina, can schedule pre-vetted registered nurses,
certified nursing assistants, at a moment's notice, to address

together to find long-term staffing solutions that allow healthcare
professionals to continue to do the work they love," said
