  As the number of cases of the coronavirus (COVID-19) reaches nearly 55,000,
  Cross Country Healthcare remains diligent in our efforts to support our
  valuable clients and healthcare providers. &ldquo;We continue to put forth
  resources and programs to help clients and providers during this time,&rdquo;
  says Hank Drummond, Chief Clinical Officer at Cross Country Healthcare.

<div>
  &ldquo;From maintaining our hotline to encouraging philanthropic efforts from
  our local branches, we are hopeful these endeavors are proving valuable in the
  management of this pandemic.&rdquo;
</div>


<div>
  Here is an update on the various efforts we are undergoing. Clinical Hotline.
</div>



<div>
  <strong>We continue to maintain a clinical hotline</strong> (800.998.5058) to
  answer any and all questions related to COVID-19 from our non-clinical staff,
  healthcare professionals and clients. To date, we have received and fielded
  more than 1,200 calls to the hotline.

<h2>Monitoring State Licensure Requirements&nbsp;</h2>

<div>
  As the need for medical professionals grows during the COVID-19 crisis, many
  federal and state officials are temporarily waiving some license regulations,
  including suspending license expiration dates, waiving certain fees and
  lifting other requirements for clinicians to better fight the outbreak.
</div>

<div>
  Cross Country Healthcare is monitoring these changes for our healthcare
  providers. To view federal and state license waivers,

<h2>In Touch with Local Boards of Nursing</h2>

<div>
  Cross Country Healthcare is in ongoing communication with States&rsquo; Boards
  of Nursing. If a state of emergency is declared for states where you have
  facilities, we will collaborate to expedite temporary licensing for
  clinicians. Visit our

    >COVID-19 Resource Center</a

  to learn more about how we can support your surge capacity needs after
  emergency declaration.
</div>

<h2>Encouraging Donations</h2>

<div>
  As we stand side by side with our clients and providers during this time, we
  are encouraging our local branch offices to support their communities in
  whatever means they can. For example, several of our locations recently
  donated approximately 20 boxes of surgical masks to nursing homes and
  hospitals that are desperate for masks in their community.

<div>
  &ldquo;We want to personally assure our customers and healthcare providers of
  our dedication to your safety, health and wellbeing,&rdquo; says Drummond.
  &ldquo;We take this responsibility very seriously and are steadfast in our
  efforts to keep you informed and in assisting facilities with surge staffing
  needs. Please visit our
