What HPA Healthcare- Healthcare Partner Associates, LLC does

HPA Healthcare (Healthcare Partner Associates, LLC) is a privately held, Joint Commission-certified healthcare staffing firm headquartered in the Raleigh-Durham area of North Carolina. The company places travel nurses (RNs and CRNAs) and locum tenens providers (physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants) with hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and federal/state healthcare facilities across all 50 U.S. states. It operates a recruiter-mediated distribution model in which each clinician is paired with a dedicated Clinician Partner and each facility with a Facility Partner who manages the full placement lifecycle, including sourcing, credentialing, privileging, travel, and housing coordination.

The company monetizes through bill rates charged to facilities for clinician labor, structured as taxable wages plus non-taxable housing and meal stipends for travel nurses (W-2) and hourly or daily rates for locum providers (1099). Pricing is publicly transparent on job postings, with observed rates including $1,999-$2,353 per week for travel RNs, $400 per hour for outpatient gastroenterology locum physicians, and $9,000 per day for pediatric gastroenterology weekend locum coverage. The supporting technology stack is intentionally light: a proprietary clinician portal called 'My Locker' handles document uploads, job alerts, and saved searches, while payroll and benefits run through ADP and Oasis Assistant.

HPA Healthcare is woman- and minority-owned and holds an unusual concentration of diversity and industry certifications, including NMSDC MBE, NALTO membership, SIA Diversity Owned Staffing Firms (2025), Washington State OMWBE, NC HUB, and CPUC General Order 156 clearance. With a small core team of approximately 14 employees (per firmographic data) supporting a much larger distributed recruiter network, the company positions itself as a high-touch, relationship-driven alternative to larger, platform-based staffing firms rather than as a technology-led disruptor.

Revenue model

1. Healthcare Staffing Placement Fees: HPA Healthcare earns revenue by placing clinicians (physicians, NPs, PAs, CRNAs, and RNs) with healthcare facilities on temporary assignments. Revenue is generated through bill rates charged to facilities for clinician labor, which includes a markup over the clinician's pay. Clinicians are compensated as either W-2 employees (for travel nurses) or 1099 independent contractors (for locum tenens providers). The company handles payroll, benefits, travel, housing, and malpractice insurance as part of the service.
