Guided by principles of health equity and social justice, Arc Health is a medical staffing agency that connects quality healthcare clinicians and physicians to rural, underserved, and tribal communities that have traditionally faced barriers to accessing healthcare due to social and historical structures. In 2023 Arc providers worked 56,255 clinical hours and saw over 100,000 patients – an increase of nearly 75% from 2022. The organization serves 200,000 people annually through its services. NFF’s loans, totaling $2 million, will provide the capital for Arc Health to acquire Lux Travel Nurse and provide additional working capital for the newly combined entity. Lux Travel Nurse connects travel nurses to facilities in rural locations, primarily in the Midwest. This expansion will add an important piece of high-quality care to Arc Health’s offerings by giving it the ability to broaden much-needed service offerings to include nursing and related services.
