It’s been 15 years since a couple of Nebraska guys launched a four-person health care staffing business in an Omaha office about the size of a pickleball court.
Today, those same founders of Triage Staffing are preparing to move nearly 350 local workers (225 others are in the Cincinnati area) into a newly purchased, 100,000-square-foot headquarters along the busy West Dodge Road corridor.
That’s more than triple the existing space the company moved into just five years ago and expanded three years later.
Triage’s bigger digs, poised to undergo a multimillion-dollar renovation at 13609 California St., will be its sixth home since that first roughly 1,000-square-foot starter spot. The planned move in early 2023 signals explosive growth of a hometown business in a medical staffing industry that also has boomed since the pandemic struck, says co-founder and chief executive John Maaske.
They are anticipating to grow the local workforce to 600 within 5 years. The top executives and an investor group purchased the building and Triage has a 10 year lease. Anyway, this is the old C&A/Medical Solutions building. I didn't know they moved out.
