Our History

SnapCare Foundation was established as the nonprofit arm of SnapCare, a nationally award-winning provider of comprehensive healthcare workforce solutions. SnapCare maintains a network of more than 385,000 nurses nationwide and has deep expertise in addressing nursing staffing challenges through technology, staffing, and workforce development. We work closely with government and healthcare partners across the country, hundreds of thousands of nurses and providers, and are providers ourselves.

We understand nursing workforce challenges at a systems level better than almost anyone. We know we are uniquely positioned to develop and deliver programs and solutions in ways that almost no one else can. And we know that solving healthcare’s urgent workforce crisis requires more than any one entity can accomplish.

That’s why SnapCare established SnapCare Foundation: to partner with communities to leverage our expertise and resources to facilitate collaborative, systems-level solutions that get at the root causes of nursing workforce attrition and retention.
