Celebrating GrapeTree Medical Staffing's 25th Anniversary ?? On this day in 1999, GrapeTree began as the dream of our founder, Tim Kinnetz—a nurse who experienced firsthand the challenges short-staffed facilities faced. Answering the call himself, Tim built a company that has grown into a thriving network of healthcare professionals. From one nurse contracting himself out to facilities, to the thousands of professionals who now make a difference every day, our journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. To our healthcare professionals who put on their scrubs, step into facilities in need, and provide the care that residents deserve—you are the heart of GrapeTree. None of this would be possible without your dedication, compassion, and strength. We thank you. To our clients, we are honored to be your trusted partner. We understand the weight of short staffing and are proud to send healthcare professionals you can count on—who feel like an extension of your team. Together, we strive to create bright moments for your residents. To our corporate team, your unwavering support ensures that our healthcare professionals and facilities feel empowered and valued. Whether guiding professionals through onboarding or standing by our clients during their most challenging times, you embody the spirit of teamwork and commitment. To our agency partners, your collaboration helps us fill more shifts, care for more residents, and impact more lives. Thank you for walking this journey with us. As healthcare continues to evolve, so will GrapeTree. Here’s to the past 25 years and the incredible future ahead. Thank you for being a part of this journey—we couldn’t have done it without you all! ??
