Cross Country Staffing Partners with Project Perfect World on Mission to Ecuador

By: PRLog
PRLog - May 30, 2013 - BOCA RATON, Fla. -- Cross Country Staffing (CCS), one of the nation’s leading providers of healthcare staffing services, announced today that it will be sending two tenured Registered Nurses (RN) on a medical mission to Ecuador this September with Project Perfect World (PPW).

Carol Reese, a RN with over 20 years of experience and Kelly Hogan, a RN with over 24 years of experience, will take their first Project Perfect World Mission to Ecuador in September. Carol and Kelly are no strangers to starting fresh in new clinical settings, as they are both healthcare travelers with two of Cross Country Staffing's companies. Carol has been traveling with Cross Country TravCorps and has taken 27 assignments across the U.S., while Kelly is traveling with MedStaff and has been on four different assignments so far.

The mission to Ecuador will entail slightly different clinical surroundings than what's accustomed in the United States, but the nurses will be traveling with an experienced team. Project Perfect World is a 100% voluntary organization founded by Bob Simpson. Since 1995, PPW has sent at least two teams a year to third world countries, like Ecuador. "Project Perfect World is dedicated to improving the lives of children that would otherwise not receive care. Without the generous support of companies like Cross Country Staffing, we would never be able to fulfill this mission. As a result of the support PPW has received from CCS, dozens of children's lives will be forever changed," explains Peter Allen, Senior Vice President, Sourcing Operations at Novation. Mr. Allen has been an active fundraiser, medical team leader, volunteer and member of the Board of Directors for the Project Perfect World Foundation.

Cross Country Staffing's focus on quality led them to Project Perfect World. CCS is proud to support this organization and is fully sponsoring both RNs who will be taking the upcoming mission. Vickie L. Anenberg, President of Cross Country Staffing states, "As the leader in quality staffing, we want to remind everyone associated with CCS why quality is so important to us in everything we do. Ultimately, we work for the patients who are in need of care. In that quest, we are reminded of those who cannot get the healthcare they need. Therefore, we have extended our commitment to finding a means to offer care to those who most desperately need it.  We chose Project Perfect World because 100% of the proceeds contributed to this mission are spent on offering free surgery to children with orthopedic, ophthalmic and maxio-facial defects. We are very proud to be a part of such an important endeavor and we are equally as proud to have Carol and Kelly represent our commitment at the bedside."
