/PRNewswire/ -- Cross Country Healthcare, Inc.

employees who serve their communities across the country. This
donation will go toward the support of American Red Cross disaster
relief efforts.
William Grubbs, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Cross Country Healthcare, explains,
"2017 was a year severely impacted by natural disasters, from
devastating hurricanes and earthquakes, to flooding and decimating
wildfires. Neighborhoods and communities were destroyed. With so
much rebuilding and recovery still needed, Cross Country Healthcare
felt compelled to give back to those in need. During the season and
spirit of giving, we are honored to donate $100,000 to the American Red Cross Disaster
Relief fund on behalf of our clients, healthcare professionals and
corporate employees."
"The American Red Cross has made it their mission to deliver
comfort and hope to those affected by natural disasters. Just like
our field clinicians who deliver vital services to their patients,
the American Red Cross provides relief and support to those in
crisis," adds Mr. Grubbs.
Chief Executive Officer of the South Florida Region of the
American Red Cross, Joanne Nowlin,
commented, "Medical professionals have always been instrumental in
the Red Cross' service delivery since its inception during the
Civil War when Clara Barton, a
nurse, founded the organization. We are grateful for this
partnership with Cross Country Healthcare and we know it will have
a positive impact in our communities."
This week, William Burns, Chief
Financial Officer, and Kevin Ingham,
Chief Human Resources Officer, of Cross Country Healthcare visited
the American Red Cross' West Palm
Beach office to present the donation to Joanne Nowlin, Chief Executive Officer of the
South Florida Region of the American Red Cross and Michelle Boggs, Regional Chief Development
Officer, South Florida Region of the American Red Cross.
