What AMN Healthcare does

AMN Healthcare Services, Inc. (NYSE: AMN) is a publicly traded healthcare workforce solutions company headquartered in Dallas, Texas, founded in 1986 and operating for over 40 years as one of the largest U.S. healthcare staffing firms (ranked 4th-largest by Staffing Industry Analysts). The company provides travel nursing, per diem, permanent placement, locum tenens, allied health, school-based therapy, revenue cycle, and executive search services through sub-brands including Staff Care, Merritt Hawkins, B.E. Smith, O'Grady Peyton International, Nursefinders, Connetics USA, Medical Search International, DRW Healthcare Staffing, Televate, and Jaide Health, serving over 10,000 healthcare clients with access to more than 2 million clinicians nationwide.

Its core technology platform is WorkWise, a unified total talent ecosystem that bundles Vendor Management Systems (ShiftWise Flex, processing 60M+ AI-generated candidate matches per week), scheduling, workforce analytics, and a clinician-facing mobile app (AMN Passport, 200,000+ registered users, 4.7/5 App Store rating). The WorkWise platform integrates with Epic EHR via Launch, Session Code, and Video Visits workflows and now incorporates third-party market data through the Brightfield Talent Data Exchange partnership. AMN also operates a HIPAA-compliant, SOC 2-aligned language services business spanning 300+ languages, recently augmented by the AI-enabled Jaide Health platform acquired in June 2026.

AMN earns revenue through bill-rate markups on contingent staffing services (approximately 70% from travel nursing), subscription and managed-services fees for VMS/MSP technology deployments, usage-based pricing for interpretation services, and professional-services fees for executive search and leadership advisory work. The company reports three segments (Nurse and Allied Solutions, Physician and Leadership Solutions, and Technology and Workforce Solutions), generated $2.73 billion in FY2025 revenue (down 8% YoY) and approximately $1.38 billion in Q1 2026 revenue (driven by ~$722 million in labor disruption revenue), with a market capitalization of approximately $1.19 billion as of June 2026.
