Arcadia Chairman and CEO John Elliott II said, “The travel nurse and allied health staffing business is one of the fastest-growing sectors of the staffing industry. Bestaff Arcadia has capitalized on that growth, and its operations are highly respected by professionals throughout the industry. Adding a proven and experienced leader like Steven Zeller will help us expand to new markets and bring additional opportunities for top-line growth.”
