Shearwater Health

Shearwater Health Shearwater Health provides global healthcare solutions by expanding clinical capacity worldwide.

There is a significant nurse shortage in the United States that is only growing. The current healthcare industry has 100,000 openings for clinical experience, and it’s projected to grow to 200,000 by 2020 (WSJ, 2016). With this shortage comes rising costs and poor care coordination with even worse outcomes. We believe there’s a responsibility for companies like Shearwater Health to provide solutions that help mitigate this shortage. Since 1973 we have continually developed our clinical staff to meet the needs of healthcare providers, payers, and any company with needs that require skilled clinical experience. Our desire to provide high quality nursing staff and Clinical Process Outsourcing® (CPO®) fuels the solutions we provide to our clients. Shearwater Health brings a unique advantage in the healthcare marketplace due to our Global Healthcare Solutions Model which allows us to partner with and retain the best clinicians in the market. Shearwater uses clinically-certified staff all over the world to meet the needs of healthcare companies in the U.S. We have over 1,700 clinicians in our URAC-accredited facilities in the Philippines that operate in remote teams for our clients. We couple our clinical expertise with Six Sigma business experts and Robotic Process Automation to improve outcomes and lower costs. We also sponsor international nurses with the clinical expertise to work as a nurse in the U.S. Through our Nurse Recruitment & Retention solution, we’re able to provide hospitals with experienced nurses from all over the world. By outsourcing to Shearwater for their clinical and administrative needs, our clients are able to free up their current clinical staff to perform the highest priority tasks.

Our new brand is here — and it’s inspired by you!

At Shearwater Health, we exist to improve healthcare outcomes by championing the expertise, compassion, and limitless potential of internationally educated nurses.

We believe that when you unlock the potential of globally trained clinicians, you change the future of care. That belief is at the core of everything we do — and it’s what inspired the evolution of our brand.

This refresh was thoughtfully created to reflect your journey, and to celebrate the impact you make every single day. It’s about showing the world that when we move together with purpose, there’s no limit to how far we can go.

Our name, Shearwater Health, was inspired by the Shearwater bird — known for crossing entire oceans with endurance and purpose. Like the bird, you’ve crossed borders to deliver care. And in every role, you bring strength, adaptability, and focused determination.

This spirit — the courage to move, to grow, to lead — is woven into every part of our refreshed brand.

Because a brand isn’t just a logo or a color palette: it’s a promise. A reflection of who we are, what we believe, and how we show up — for our partners, for patients, and for each other.
