Catalyzing Success
One Venture at a Time

When Mary Kathleen Bryan went back to school to become a nurse, she took a job as a travel nurse recruiter to learn the business. What she saw from the inside changed her direction. Temporary healthcare staffing, she realized, was built to profit from healthcare professionals rather than support them. RuraLink, is her answer: a rural healthcare workforce marketplace where healthcare organizations and healthcare professionals connect directly. For rural hospitals, that means lower contract labor costs and less dependence on agencies. For clinicians, it means negotiating their own rates and building independent careers. Underneath both is one goal: a stable workforce for the communities that rely on rural hospitals for essential care.
