"Each year, we’re amazed by the nominations we receive. It’s inspiring to see the ideas and innovations shaping the future of healthcare,” said Jared S. Taylor, Founder of Slice of Healthcare. “This award celebrates the visionaries who are building a better tomorrow. We’re thrilled to recognize their work.” 

Nursa takes a hyper-local, marketplace approach to solving per diem nursing shift needs without the typical long-term contract requirements many other competitors in the space bank on. In founding the company, Anderson bucked the status quo by rejecting restrictive agreements that hamstring the very healthcare facilities and clinicians they’re purported to serve. The nurse staffing app’s infrastructure, built upon real-time technology that enables facilities and organizations to easily secure qualified, local nursing talent, allows Nursa to be extraordinarily responsive to the needs of facilities and nurses alike. More than half of the shifts posted to the app in the past year were filled in less than 24 hours from a pool of vetted clinicians within the service area.

Under Anderson’s leadership, Nursa raised more than $108 million in capital funding. His entrepreneurial spirit has earned him industry recognition, including Utah Business CEO of the Year in 2023 and accolades from Ernst & Young, the New York Stock Exchange, The Founder 100, HIMSS and more.

“I wanted to live in a world where working together was more transparent for nurses and the managers who have needs. Doing so better serves both ends of the marketplace and enables better patient care,” Anderson said. “It’s been an exciting road since we opened our doors in 2019, and I’m grateful for this recognition, which validates my belief that the future is for the faithful. With support from the dedicated team that has joined me in making bold strides toward a preferred future, we’ve achieved great things in a few short and prosperous years. I look forward to what’s in store as we continue to expand our mission to keep nurses at the bedside when and where they’re needed.”
