AHCA 2026

Whether you stopped by the booth or we missed you this time, here's everything we shared at the show. It's all in one place, so you can take a look whenever it works for you.

There are nurses who want to work. They just want to work differently. The operators we met at AHCA are rethinking how they connect with those professionals, moving away from rigid models and middlemen toward direct access, transparent costs, and data that shows who's reliable before a shift starts. The resources below show where we're headed and how facilities are putting that shift into practice today.
