Arc Health connects the best medical providers to the most underserved places. Arc embeds health equity at the forefront of its work and invests in local health professionals who will serve vulnerable communities for a lifetime.
Rural and Indigenous communities across the U.S. have struggled to access equitable health care services for decades. Health care facilities in these communities face a unique set of challenges, including persistent shortages of health care providers who can work in these areas. The combination of poor access and the challenges related to providing health services in rural areas have contributed to rural Americans suffering from chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes at high rates.
Arc Health is the first public benefit company formed to disrupt the medical staffing industry — focused exclusively on advancing health equity through recruiting and retaining skilled health care practitioners to serve rural and underserved communities.Â
Arc Health is aiming to transform the perception of medical staffing in underserved communities to be equity-driven and high-quality by providing market-leading medical staffing services for areas with health provider shortages.
Acumen invested to improve health equity among rural and Indigenous populations. One of the most crucial elements of a strong health system is skilled health staff. Without talented and dedicated medical professionals, there can be no strong health system. In underserved, rural communities in the U.S. and around the world, there is a near universal relationship between persistent poverty and a lack of health workers. Arc is seeking to address provider shortages and, in turn, improve health care service and outcomes in underserved communities.
