More about Wave Health Partners
Their branding emphasizes being 'seamless, adaptable, and sustainable' in their approach to healthcare staffing. The agency currently focuses on high-paying travel contracts, with active placements in Alaska at well-respected hospital systems. For nurses, Wave Health Partners offers lucrative short-term assignments (typically 13 weeks) with comprehensive logistical support including covered flights, furnished apartments, and shuttle service. The agency appears to target experienced RNs with specialty backgrounds in emergency department, ICU/inpatient, and labor & delivery/recovery/postpartum (LDRP) care. Assignments are available on an ongoing basis with multiple start dates throughout the year. The agency operates as a staffing intermediary rather than a direct healthcare provider, meaning nurses work at host facilities while employed through or contracted by Wave Health Partners.
The organization's stated branding focuses on being 'Seamless. Adaptable. Sustainable.' in the context of healthcare staffing.
