The Adara HealthCare Staffing® Difference
The Adara HealthCare Staffing® placement service isn't the only one around. But it's the most unique --and, we think, the best. Here's why.

Our company is a privately-held, nurse-owned and nurse-operated business. That's the very specific direction the company is looking to as it expands the concept. We are recruiting Registered Nurses to be Adara HealthCare Staffing® franchisees.

Our mission is to have a Registered Nurse own and manage every franchise. Plain and simple.

Why? For starters, no one understands nursing issues the way nurses do. This nurse-owned and nurse-operated concept is what sets us miles apart from the competition. We believe that when it comes to providing and managing healthcare, professionals like you are the best people for the job.

From our headquarters in Altoona, Pennsylvania, we meet the temporary and supplemental staffing needs and the long-term assignments of hospitals and other care facilities. We specialize in emergency short-notice staffing and we are committed to providing clients with qualified healthcare professionals.

We recruit only the highest caliber of nursing personnel to supply to hospitals. There is no substitute for excellence. Our Adara HealthCare Staffing® philosophy is to proudly offer our staff excellent competitive wages and the freedom to pick and choose where and when they want to work.

Our founder is a nurse with over 10 years of experience as an agency nurse. She understands the industry and knows that its staffing needs are critically different from any other type of business.

The Adara HealthCare Staffing® franchisee will provide nursing staff to hospitals and long-term care facilities and be a valued, key player in today's specialized healthcare industry. If you are interested in helping others, enjoy working with people and want to enjoy sharing in the benefits of this fast growing field, we would like to talk with you.

This Is A Business Franchising Opportunity Designed By A Nurse - For Nurses.

Laura O'Farrell, RN, and our President, first conceived of her business while employed as an agency nurse traveling from hospital to hospital. She truly enjoyed the advantage of picking and choosing the hours and shifts that she wanted. The disadvantage was that she, as an agency nurse, wasn't reaching her earning potential.

During her years in that field, she saw an increase in the desperate need for supplementing nurse staffing. She decided to start her own agency, which would pay nurses more and charge hospitals reasonable rates.

Laura's nursing experience in the field gave her the insight to know how the facilities operate and what the staff wanted. The Adara HealthCare Staffing® concept puts nurses in control. As independent contractors, they can leave hospital politics behind and enjoy flexible hours. The freedom to pick and choose the hours they want to work, plus the potential to earn more than they could working for a hospital, makes the Adara HealthCare Staffing® concept the best of both worlds for nurses.

Laura's nursing background, coupled with her husband Francis O'Farrell's 22 years of business experience, form the foundation upon which the Adara HealthCare Staffing® concept has built its business.

Laura has built a talent bank of the best and brightest in the nursing field. Word of mouth has expanded and a flourishing agency is poised to anticipate the staffing needs of healthcare. The O'Farrells' deep commitment to excellence and their strong work ethic has enabled them to establish lasting relationships with hospitals and long-term care facilities. Adara Healthcare Staffing® is where they turn to when staffing shortages occur.

The Adara HealthCare Staffing® name has become synonymous with "superior temporary healthcare staff to those in need." Now, we're ready to talk with experienced Registered Nurses about expanding the program.
