All Star Healthcare Solutions Appoints Kelly Rakowski CEO Effective October 26

All Star Healthcare Solutions appointed Kelly Rakowski as chief executive officer, effective October 26, 2026, succeeding Ken Bernstein, who is listed as CEO and president in company records. Rakowski joins the Boca Raton-based locum tenens provider from AHSG, where she was chief executive officer, according to PR Newswire.

Rakowski's Appointment at All Star

Rakowski brings more than 30 years of leadership experience in healthcare workforce solutions and technology-enabled services, the company said. She previously served as group president and chief operating officer of strategic talent solutions at AMN Healthcare, and earlier held senior roles at Premier, Inc., Accenture and GE Healthcare.

"I am honored to join All Star at such an exciting stage, and to work alongside a team so deeply committed to the partners it serves," Rakowski said. "All Star has built an exceptional foundation, and there's great opportunity ahead."

All Star partnered with Knox Lane, a growth-oriented investment firm, in May 2024 to support its next phase of growth, the company said. Since then, All Star has acquired Cross Country Locums and Integrity Locums. Knox Lane completed its acquisition of Cross Country Healthcare and took it private in July 2026, with Joel Tremblay appointed as the company's new CEO, according to American City Business Journals.
