Here’s a little bit about us
We saw the need for something different…
Since the Covid-19 pandemic, many hospitals and schools looked to Managed Service Providers (MSPs) for relief from the administrative burden of managing multiple suppliers, invoices, and credentials.
Amergis a national and locally-situated Joint Commission-certified staffing company, recognized the need for an MSP that was transparent and leveled the playing field to maintain quality, efficiency, and fairness.
The Sunburst model was founded on a vision of objectivity, including a fair competitive process for pricing and selection of strategic vendors to expand the market and source top talent. Sunburst promotes supplier equity and allows small, minority, and women-owned businesses a place to thrive in a competitive marketplace.
