You care for patients. We care for you.

Together, we're the heartbeat of healthcare

Because it’s not just a job. It's a calling.

When you entered healthcare, you undertook a life of caring; one of the few occupations where you can never dial in a day’s work.

Every day, you show up and give your all to others, putting your skills, your expertise, and your heart into looking after each patient’s best interests.

And that’s why we’re here to look after yours.

We understand healthcare because
we’ve been there — and still are

SambaCare was founded by two nursing home administrators with 20+ years of experience in the industry.

Each day, we draw on this first-hand understanding of healthcare and its unique needs to support our team and help facilities address their staffing challenges.

We represent the industry's best

We know the immeasurable value of having a talented and compassionate pool of healthcare professionals to draw from whenever needed.

We’re on a mission to track down the very best healthcare workers our industry has to offer. To represent, advance, and support them in every way they deserve — so they can go out and do their best work.
