SpringBoard Healthcare

What SpringBoard Healthcare does

SpringBoard Healthcare is a Phoenix-based, private healthcare staffing agency founded in 2002 that specializes exclusively in travel staffing for cardiovascular and diagnostic imaging professionals, including Cath Lab, Electrophysiology (EP), Interventional Radiology (IR), and related allied health and nursing roles. The company places clinicians in typically 13-week assignments at US hospitals and reports placement relationships with 80% of Fortune's 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals, plus named accounts including Kaiser Permanente facilities, Mayo Clinic Jacksonville, Duke University Heart Hospital, and the Medical University of South Carolina. SpringBoard operates as a brand within the Ingenovis Health family of staffing companies (alongside Fastaff, Trustaff, HealthCare Support, USN, Vista Staffing, VitalSolution, and Corazon Inc.).

The core offering is a relationship-manager-driven staffing placement service, complemented by a proprietary cloud-based cardiovascular education platform developed in partnership with Duke Health. The education portfolio includes four programs: Cath Lab Academy (RCIS certification preparation across basics, common procedures, and specialized procedures), RCIS Prep+ (RCIS exam simulator), EP Academy (four-course RCES/IBHRE preparation piloted at Duke), and CV Pro Academy (cardiovascular technology curriculum for students). Underlying technology is a Learning Management System delivering video lectures, 3D illustrations, interactive tools, practice exams, and reference content across mobile and desktop.

SpringBoard generates revenue through two primary streams: managed-services-style healthcare staffing placement (charging facilities for clinician assignments) and subscription-style course enrollment in its certification education programs. Go-to-market combines a clinician-facing self-serve job portal and skills/wage tools with a dedicated relationship-manager sales motion targeting hospital systems; clinician acquisition is amplified by a $2,000 referral bonus and a $1,000 new-assignment bonus. The company holds the Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval for healthcare staffing and has been named an AZCentral Top Workplace in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025.
