CHN

What CHN does

CHN Healthcare Group (legal entity CHN Health Care Group, Inc.; also doing business as Community Health Network / CHN) is a private, nurse-owned healthcare staffing agency headquartered in Holliston, Massachusetts, founded in 1985. The company connects credentialed nurses, home care nurses, hospice nurses, therapists, and other healthcare professionals with home care organizations, hospice facilities, and healthcare clinics, offering temporary, per diem, travel, and direct hire placement options. Its service portfolio spans five staffing specialties — Home Care, Hospice, Travel Nursing, Case Management, and the Flex Talent Pool — and the firm holds The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval for Health Care Staffing Services Certification (awarded April 2022).

The core technology consists of a staffing platform that includes an online job board at jobs.chninc.com for self-serve candidate engagement and a separate employer-facing request flow for facility clients; the company does not disclose proprietary matching algorithms, mobile apps, or API integrations. Revenue is generated through professional-services staffing fees — bill rates and placement charges negotiated per assignment type and credential — under a quote-based, non-public pricing model. The go-to-market is sales-led direct outreach to healthcare facilities in the Boston metropolitan area, supplemented by organic content marketing (blog, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, email) and a self-serve job board for healthcare professionals.

In 2024 CHN expanded its footprint by launching a direct-to-patient Home Care Services line and opening a Home Care division serving New Hampshire via wholly-owned subsidiary CHN Home Care New Hampshire, adding a consumer in-home care revenue stream (light housekeeping, meal preparation, medication reminders, transportation, Alzheimer's/dementia and hospice support, available 24/7) on top of its B2B staffing business. The company operates with 11–50 employees, has no disclosed outside funding, is privately held by nursing professionals, and is led by President and CEO Michelle Murray.

Direct peers

• BrightStar Care: BrightStar Care is a national franchised home care and medical staffing provider placing RNs, LPNs, and caregivers in homes and facilities. Comparable to CHN as a smaller-scale home health staffing and direct care operator serving similar nursing and aide staffing needs.
• Interim HealthCare: Interim HealthCare is a national franchised provider of home health, hospice, and personal care staffing services placing nurses and caregivers in patient homes. It mirrors CHN's staffing-plus-home-care model across home care, hospice, and per diem nursing placements.
• Trusted Nurse Staffing: Trusted Nurse Staffing is a healthcare staffing agency focused on travel nursing, per diem, and direct hire placements for hospitals, home health, and hospice clients. It is a smaller-scale direct peer to CHN with comparable travel nursing, hospice, and home care staffing offerings.
• BAYADA Home Health Care: BAYADA Home Health Care is a large nonprofit home health and hospice provider offering in-home nursing, pediatric, adult, and hospice services across the U.S. It is directly comparable to CHN's home care and hospice staffing business and now overlaps with CHN's newly launched direct home care division in New Hampshire.
• Maxim Healthcare Services: Maxim Healthcare Services provides home healthcare, behavioral care, and personal care services delivered through staffing of nurses and caregivers in patients' homes. It is the closest direct peer to CHN because Maxim staffs nurses into home care, hospice, and clinical settings - exactly CHN's core verticals.

Broad incumbents

• AMN Healthcare: AMN Healthcare is the largest U.S. healthcare staffing firm, placing nurses, allied professionals, and physicians across hospitals, home health, and hospice settings. It is comparable to CHN as a broader incumbent operating in the same healthcare staffing category with national scale that CHN lacks.
• Amedisys: Amedisys is a large home health and hospice provider operating across most U.S. states, employing nurses and therapists directly and contracting supplemental staffing. It overlaps with CHN as a home health and hospice employer/customer in the same labor pool.
• Cross Country Healthcare: Cross Country Healthcare is a national staffing and workforce solutions provider serving hospitals, home health, and clinics through travel, per diem, and permanent placement. Comparable to CHN as a multi-modality healthcare staffing incumbent with overlapping service lines in travel nursing and home health placements.
• Aya Healthcare: Aya Healthcare is one of the largest travel nursing and allied staffing firms in the U.S., serving hospitals, home health, and clinic clients. It directly overlaps with CHN's travel nursing and per diem placement offerings and competes for the same pool of credentialed RNs.

Others

• Encompass Health: Encompass Health operates inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and a home health and hospice segment that buys supplemental nursing staffing. It is thematically comparable to CHN as a downstream buyer and competitor for skilled nurses in the home health and post-acute market.
