Private equity firm Periscope Equity announced an investment in per diem and travel nurse provider MAS Medical Staffing LLC — which SIA ranked as the 40th-largest US healthcare staffing firm last year — in a recapitalization in partnership with management.

MAS Medical Staffing was founded in 2002 and is based in Londonderry, New Hampshire.

Its service offerings include the Maestra platform, which organizes per diem shift fulfillment by linking client companies and their open shifts directly with nurses.
