About Us
Who We Are.
Headquartered in Fort Myers, FL, Epic Cardiovascular Services was founded more than 20 years ago. Over the years, the company has partnered with or acquired other like minded companies, and has most recently joined the Epic Staffing Group family of companies.
Employing more than 220 perfusionists, ECMO specialists and autotransfusionists, our team can have significant impact on our industry. Our people have won or been nominated for many AmSECT national awards, teach in several perfusion programs, and represent perfusion interests on the boards of a number of professional societies.
We are the largest provider of temporary perfusion staffing in the country and operate the largest pediatric perfusion travel team available to hospitals across the nation.
Most importantly, we are always excited to hear your story and how we may be able to assist you in your career or as a possible hospital partner.
