Lucidity will continue to operate as a standalone company under its own brand after the transaction.   The business will join the Health Carousel Locums Network (HCLN) as part of its new omnichannel offering, where physicians have the option of a full-service concierge and digital experience options when seeking out temporary assignments.  HCLN, under the NEXTLocums and Onyx M.D. brands, is the 13^th largest locum tenens (temporary physician staffing) company in the country, according to estimates from Staffing Industry Analysts.

“We are thrilled to welcome Lucidity into the Health Carousel family,” said Bill DeVille, Chief Executive Officer of Health Carousel. “Digital transformation is impacting all industries and we believe healthcare staffing is no different.  Expectations continue to grow as consumers expect convenience and digital self-service tools when they interact with companies in all industries.  We are excited to offer physicians the choice to work with us how they choose – both a high touch concierge option and a digital only self-service option.”
