About Shearwater Health:
At Shearwater Health, we know that better patient outcomes are never achieved alone – especially when there aren’t enough hands to deliver care. That’s why we’ve built something different: a global team of clinicians helping solve one of healthcare’s most urgent challenges – the nursing shortage. By expanding the reach of care teams and reinforcing critical support systems, we bring clarity, compassion, and clinical expertise to the front lines of care.

As the founder of the nation’s first Clinical Process Outsourcing (CPO®) model and a Great Place to Work®-certified company, we help the world’s top healthcare organizations work smarter – scaling their teams, strengthening care, and solving real problems every day. From clinical decision support to administrative tasks, our team of nearly 6,000 clinicians and process experts work across borders and time zones to help our partners focus on what matters most: delivering exceptional patient care.

If you’re ready for your work to not just support care – but strengthen the system – join us. This is where clinicians become changemakers, and where nurses go further than they ever thought possible.

Shearwater Health's global headquarters is located in Nashville, Tennessee.
