TAMPA, FL – JULY 16, 2018 – Epic Specialty Staffing has announced it has recently earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval ® for Health Care Staffing Services Certification. The certification demonstrates Epic Specialty Staffing’s commitment to providing qualified and competent health care professionals.

Epic Specialty Staffing underwent a rigorous onsite review on June 28, 2018.
