Care One has been providing swift and effective staffing solutions since 1993. Compelled by the shortage of healthcare professionals in Michigan, Care One’s President and CEO Steven Cook founded the company in an effort to help facilities remain sufficiently staffed so that they could ensure premium care. He quickly recognized that the shortage of healthcare professionals was made worse by the poor quality of matching staff to facilities. Nobody was listening to the needs of the staff, and nobody seemed to be listening to the needs of the facilities. Steven decided to take a different approach. His goal was not to be the biggest staffing agency, rather his goal was to be the best staffing agency. He arrived at a simple philosophy that remains at the core of Care One to this day. We listen, we learn, we understand. It worked, and Care One has grown from staffing a few nurses and a handful of facilities in isolated parts of Michigan, to working with hundreds of healthcare professionals serving scores of clients across the state in a variety of health care facilities.
