How you can
Be The Change.
Fusion Medical Staffing believes in the importance of social responsibility practices for our company, as well as ensuring that employees have opportunities for community engagement through volunteer opportunities they can participate in.
Our ‘Be The Change’ program encompasses three main components; Employee Volunteer Opportunities (Compassion Groups); Fusion Medical Staffing Company Passions and Employee Paid Volunteer Time Off (VTO). These areas allow us to spearhead projects that work to achieve Ghandi’s quote: “Be the change you wish to see in the world”.
NAMI + Fusion + YOU!
NAMI is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness. This organization has over 500 local affiliates across the country that work with communities on educating, advocating, and providing services for those who are personally affected or have someone close to them affected by mental illness.
Every completed Travel assignment will provide a donation to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) that will go directly to helping fund the NAMI emergency/crisis helpline. Every individual donation will help NAMI serve 4 individuals, friends or family members impacted by a mental health condition by providing no-cost support, referral and information that gives help and hope to those in need.
Causes We Support
Mental Health Awareness
Fusion works to place the best travelers in the country, we will now be donating to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) for every travel assignment completed in 2019.
In a world where we are driven by the current social media trends, some of which can include show casing a life that may look completely different on the outside, then it does on the inside. The stigma behind a mental health diagnosis can be heavy to handle and may produce many feelings like fear and shame.
Each year millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental illness.
Together, we hope to make an incredible impact on normalizing mental health and ending the stigma associated with mental illness.
Multiple Sclerosis
As a company, we have participated in numerous MS events throughout the years. In 2018 we took our passion for helping this cause to a new exciting level. Fusion hosted their first "Drive 'fore' MS" company golf tournament that raised $12,000 for the MSforward Gym in Omaha, Nebraska that specializes in refined and supervised fitness programs for individuals with Multiple Sclerosis.
Our golf event raised money by having employees donate to participate in the fundraising golf tournament. 100% of the employees donation along with Fusion's company match is donated to the gym.
Hereditary Cancer Foundation
If it’s October, you can find the Fusion Family bowling and wearing LOTS of pink!
One of our favorite traditions is our annual Bowling for Boobs event in October. 2018 was the 4th year we rallied to help raise money for this important and life changing cause.
Much like our golf event, employees pay $35 each to receive a t-shirt, snacks, and an afternoon off to bowl with their coworkers.
Every dollar our employees pay goes directly to the Kamie K. Preston Hereditary Cancer Foundation. The foundation provides genetic testing for individuals who are not able to have it covered through insurance but have a history of cancer in their family.

Habitat for Humanity
The past couple of years we have spent many opportunities getting involve to do some volunteer work with Habitat for Humanity. Fusion employees spend their day helping rip out floor beams, put in windows, and measure and hang the drywall. Habitat for Humanity builds healthy, affordable homes to help families break the cycle of poverty by helping provide stable home options.
QLI
Oh, how we love QLI! Our bond began a few years ago and it continues to grow each year. QLI treats individuals with brain and spinal injuries and the method that they do that, is remarkable. We are honored we get to spend time serving breakfast to the residents the first Friday of every month and look forward to helping with their Thanksgiving celebration and wrapping presents for their residents every year.
The Stephen Center
Every month, you'll find us shopping, prepping, and serving a meal for The Stephen Center, a local homeless shelter in Omaha. This volunteer activity has been a part of Fusion since the very beginning and the number of memories we have made there are too many to count!
