U.S. Navy Awards $97.5 Million Staffing Contract to San Antonio's InGenesis Medical Staffing Joint Venture




Dental Assistants Hired for Navy Facilities in 5 States

SAN ANTONIO, Mar 24, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- InGenesis Medical Staffing of San Antonio, Texas, is growing in spite of the dismal state of the U.S. economy. Today the privately held company announces that its joint venture entity InGenesis Arora Solutions (IAS) has won a $97.5 million dollar, five-year dental staffing award from the U.S. Navy. IAS is the sole recipient of this military branch's "West Coast Dental Assistant" contract, scheduled to go into effect on July 6, 2009.

IAS is a joint venture between InGenesis Medical Staffing and The Arora Group of Gaithersburg, Maryland. Founded in 2008, this full-service medical staffing company recruits and manages physicians, nurses and ancillary healthcare providers for 70 military treatment facilities (MTFs) nationwide. To fulfill the requirements of this substantial military contract, IAS will hire dental assistants to work at naval military treatment facilities in Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada and Washington. The contract also supports the 3D Dental Battalion/US Naval Dental Center in Okinawa, Japan. IAS will staff facilities such as the Naval Medical Center in San Diego, California; the Naval Hospital at Camp Pendleton, California; the Naval Hospital in Oak Harbor, Washington; and the Naval Health Clinic in Hawaii.

IAS will be in charge of hiring and managing the dental assistant workforce staffed by civilian contractors. The exact number of employees needed to fill these positions is yet to be determined. InGenesis President and CEO Veronica Edwards says she expects a sizeable number of the employees now holding these positions will re-apply for their jobs and transition over from the existing contractor to IAS. Any additional qualified personnel needed to staff this contract will be selected from IAS's extensive staffing databases and through targeted, nationwide recruiting efforts coordinated by the company's seasoned recruiters.

Superior performance ratings on other military dental staffing contracts by both of the two companies forming IAS were key to InGenesis Arora Solutions winning the contract, explains Ms. Edwards. "IAS excels at providing high-quality nurses, physicians, pharmacists, dental assistants and other healthcare professionals to the military healthcare system," she says. "Our extremely high fill rates, low employee turnover, and 29 combined years of exceeding client expectations in staffing military facilities throughout the country serve as the foundation for our success. We look forward to managing this crucial dental staffing contract for the Navy, and are honored once again to assist our military with our expertise."

Online-only applications for this contract from dental assistants will be accepted after April 1, 2009, at www.InGenesisArora.com.
