Barton Associates is a part of The Barton Companies with Wellhart. Founded in 2001, Barton is a national healthcare staffing agency specializing in locum tenens across a broad range of specialties, placing physicians, nurse practitioners, physician associates, dentists and CRNAs.
Today, we are named one of the largest staffing firms by Staffing Industry Analysts, partnering with hospitals, health systems, and clinics across all 50 states. Each day, we help bridge critical staffing gaps so patients receive uninterrupted, high-quality care.
With dedicated teams in recruiting, credentialing, licensing, risk management, travel, and logistics, we manage the entire staffing lifecycle, making the experience seamless for both clients and providers.
