UItracare was founded in 1983 by Barbara Halsband, a Registered Critical Care Nurse with extensive credentials in the healthcare industry, including positions as Assistant Director of Nursing at College Hospital in Newark, New Jersey and Vice President of Continental Health Affiliates.  Aware that there was no central source to which healthcare facilities could turn for per diem staffing, she established Ultracare, an agency where those seeking to hire accredited, quality professionals could call with confidence knowing the personnel could be relied upon for their expertise and skills.

Mark C. Halsband has a background in Hyperbaric Medicine and Respiratory Care.  In 1984, Mark joined Barbara as co-owner of Ultracare.  The venture quickly became a success and added home care services to its operations.  The organization expanded still further to include a medical supply company.  Mark maintains his Respiratory License in New York, New Jersey, and Florida, and established Ultracare's highly respected Respiratory Care Division.
