GrapeTree Medical Staffing (“GrapeTree”), one of the fastest growing and largest nurse staffing providers in the Midwest, has completed a recapitalization with New MainStream Capital (“NMS”). GrapeTree’s service offering includes CNA staffing in nursing homes and assisted living facilities, as well as LPNs and RNs in hospitals. GrapeTree will serve as the platform investment in NMS’ effort to build an industry-leading provider of CNA and RN staffing to long-term care facilities and hospitals on both a per diem and contract basis.

GrapeTree provides experienced, qualified professionals for as little as a single eight-hour shift or as long as a typical 13-week contract nursing assignment, and fulfills all of these needs from its headquarters in Milford, Iowa. With a focus on delivering a higher level of customer service, GrapeTree utilizes a vendor management platform that significantly improves fill rates by using its large network of affiliate suppliers, and automates delivery to enable the company to provide exceptional customer care. The strength of the GrapeTree model is evident in its growth – in 2017 the company will serve more than 600 individual facilities, an increase of over 10% from 2016, and the total number of healthcare professionals who worked at least one GrapeTree shift doubled to over 1,600 in the same period.

Tim Kinnetz, founder of GrapeTree, commented that “The Provident team was an essential partner as GrapeTree pursued strategic options for an outside partnership. The team’s diligence, knowledge, and professionalism assured me that, at each stage, Provident was providing the best counsel available. I worked closely with several members of the team and would highly recommend the firm based on our positive experiences.”

“GrapeTree has a truly exemplary staffing model which is supported by best-in-class technology, providers, and workplace culture. This deal will help Tim and his team achieve their growth objectives and expand their model nationally,” noted Michael Fassett, Analyst at Provident Healthcare Partners.

“The GrapeTree Team has built the best in class technology enabled staffing solution to fulfill orders for local, shorter duration assignments, which has traditionally been underserved. With the resources and experience of NMS, GrapeTree is well positioned to expand its model nationally,” stated Steven Aguiar, Managing Director at Provident Healthcare Partners.

Provident Healthcare Partners served as exclusive financial advisor to GrapeTree. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
