Incredible Health, the largest AI-powered career marketplace for permanent healthcare workers, has announced a major expansion of its platform. Building on its success with over 1 million U.S. nurses and 1,500 hospitals, the company is now focusing on permanent roles for technicians while also extending its reach into Home Health organizations and Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs). This strategic move addresses critical staffing challenges in the healthcare sector and opens up new career opportunities for healthcare professionals across the nation.
Addressing the Technician Shortage Crisis
Technicians make up 60% of the healthcare workforce, yet the industry is facing a growing shortage. With an estimated shortfall of over 3.2 million allied healthcare workers by 2026, the situation is reaching crisis levels. Technician shortages are beginning to resemble the nursing shortage of 2021, leading to delays in critical care such as imaging, surgical procedures, and emergency services. Incredible Health is taking steps to support this vital part of the workforce by connecting technicians with permanent roles, helping reduce reliance on temporary labor, and ensuring cost-effective, high-quality care.
Platform Expansion to Home Health & ASCs
In addition to hospitals, Incredible Health is now supporting healthcare organizations in Home Health and ASCs. The inclusion of these sectors will help healthcare providers save on premium labor, overtime costs, and HR expenses while improving patient care:
-
Home Health Organizations: Employment in home health is expected to grow by 21% over the next decade. Incredible Health connects these organizations with experienced nurses, ensuring high-quality, consistent care for patients. Nurses hired through Incredible Health bring, on average, 8 years of experience—a crucial factor for the independent work required in home health settings.
-
Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs): With outpatient surgeries expected to rise by 18% by 2033, ASCs face significant hiring challenges. Over 70% of ASCs report difficulty hiring operating room nurses and surgical technologists. Incredible Health is helping these centers access a vast network of experienced professionals, including over 500,000 nurses interested in ASC roles, where the average nurse has 12 years of experience.
The Impact of Incredible Health’s Expansion
The expansion of Incredible Health’s platform not only supports healthcare organizations in meeting rising demand but also helps professionals build long-term, fulfilling careers in roles that align with their personal preferences and career goals. By offering free access to a range of resources, Incredible Health is empowering both nurses and technicians to manage their careers and secure positions that offer growth opportunities, flexibility, and job satisfaction.
Iman Abuzeid, CEO and Co-founder of Incredible Health, explained:
“We’ve seen firsthand the challenges faced by nurses, and we’re now applying those lessons to the growing crisis of technician shortages. At the same time, our expansion into home health and ASCs is not just about faster hiring and cost reduction—it’s about helping nurses and technicians build meaningful, long-term careers in settings best suited to them. This is a major step forward in our mission to help healthcare workers live better lives.”
