How will the funding be used?
Nurse hiring has become increasingly important as health systems and employees need to manage an increasing number of patients. The company is receiving funding to help with their efforts to spread nationwide and continue developing innovative methods of hiring nurses, amidst a shortage in the industry.
Helping healthcare workers find and do their best work is the mission of the company.
Iman Abuzeid, MD, CEO and co-founder of Incredible Health believes that nurses are the backbone of the US health care system. They need adequate staffing and tools to be successful in their job, says Abuzeid. His company has created a model that has altered the way that nurses and other healthcare professionals think, and we are going to continue to grow our company to create more change in the industry.
