Our Story


Health Specialists is proud to be one of the most successful family-owned companies in the industry.


Our journey began in 1987


guided by a simple yet powerful principle – caring.

We deeply care for our nurses, medical allied staff, partner companies, and client hospitals, and this genuine care is the cornerstone of our success.

In an industry that has faced its fair share of challenges, Health Specialists hasn't just endured; we've thrived. While others may have faltered or been absorbed by large conglomerates, our dedication to quality healthcare has remained steadfast.

We proudly hold Joint Commission Certification, a testament to our steadfast commitment to excellence. We take pride in providing dedicated healthcare professionals to facilities across the United States, covering every imaginable specialty.

At Health Specialists, we don't just offer staffing solutions; we extend a hand of care, support, and understanding to everyone we serve. With us, you're not just a number or a transaction; you're a valued member of our extended family.

Our unwavering dedication to nurse staffing is fueled by our genuine love and care. We are wholeheartedly committed to this mission, eager to join you on the path to achieving your goals.

At Health Specialists, we're not your typical staffing company – we are a family-owned nurse staffing agency that specializes in customer-centric services that believes in putting our heart and soul into everything we do.

There are bigger companies, but there is not a staffing agency with a bigger heart or a more earnest commitment to excellence. In those areas, we refuse to be second to anyone.

No staffing agency can match the size of our heart or the depth of our commitment to excellence like Health Specialists.

Our promise is simple yet profound: we prioritize forging personal relationships between our dedicated team and cherished travelers. To us, it's more than business; it's about ensuring every nurse and medical professional enjoys the finest opportunities and benefits.

Our founder, David Minich, embodies this commitment. As shown in this heartwarming picture, he's not just the face of our company but also a devoted family man. David's vision has always been to keep our company close enough to maintain that personal touch and family feel with our staff and incredible nurses. Yet, we're also large enough to provide the support and resources our medical professionals need to reach their goals.

While our headquarters is in the heart of Kansas City, we proudly place staffing contracts from coast to coast because, at Health Specialists, we believe exceptional care knows no boundaries.
