The Challenge

Rural and Indigenous communities across the U.S. have struggled to access equitable health care services for decades. Health care facilities in these communities face a unique set of challenges, including persistent shortages of health care providers who can work in these areas. The combination of poor access and the challenges related to providing health services in rural areas have contributed to rural Americans suffering from chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes at high rates.

The Innovation

Arc Health is the first public benefit company formed to disrupt the medical staffing industry —  focused exclusively on advancing health equity through recruiting and retaining skilled health care practitioners to serve rural and underserved communities. 

Arc Health is aiming to transform the perception of medical staffing in underserved communities to be equity-driven and high-quality by providing market-leading medical staffing services for areas with health provider shortages.
