Salt Lake City, Nov. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As a company dedicated to Putting People First, the employees at CHG Healthcare have raised over $500,000 during its annual fundraising event, “Making a Difference Week.” CHG Healthcare is the nation’s largest privately held healthcare staffing company and employs 2,700 people across the country.

 “Making a Difference Week” is a slate of fundraising activities and other charitable giving projects to benefit United Way and other local charities. CHG has hosted the event for more than a decade.
