Kirby Bates Associates Announces New Affiliation

We at Kirby Bates Associates are singing because we are now part of the Jackson Healthcare family of companies.  Founded by healthcare innovator, Richard L. Jackson, Jackson Healthcare is built on a simple idea — that talented professionals with a shared purpose can improve the lives of patients, families, and communities. 

Headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia, just outside of Atlanta, Jackson Healthcare has risen to a place of prominence among the largest healthcare staffing and technology companies in the U.S. It currently serves more than seven million patients in over 1,300 healthcare facilities. Each of Jackson Healthcare’s 18 companies operates independently but has the advantage of working synergistically with other “sister” companies and having the support of an exceptionally strong private parent company.

Advantages of Joining the Jackson Healthcare Family

•    We retain the Kirby Bates Associates name, leadership and staff while benefiting from the support of a much larger company

•    We can offer our clients a broader array of services by working with our Jackson Healthcare “sister” companies

•    We now offer options for Interim Management Services – including an all-inclusive package in which we employ Interim Leaders and manage all housing and travel arrangements

•    We are expanding our Executive Search, Coaching and Consulting Services with a broader national reach

•    We are part of a company that gives hospitals $100,000 each year in Hospital Charitable Service Awards honoring hospital programs that promote community health and wellness through education, access, and delivery

•    We are part of a company that champion’s local, national and international charitable work, with an emphasis on helping underserved children through foster care, adoption advocacy, and medical missions throughout the world

•    We are part of a company that the Atlanta Business Chronicle has named Atlanta’s “Best Place to Work” in 2014 and 2015 and “Healthiest Large Company” in 2015

•    We are part of a company culture that places the highest priority on living its core values:  Esteem the Team; Others First; Strive for Excellence; Maximize Potential, and Do the Right Thing
