Healthcare is the largest and fastest-growing employment sector in the US – but finding and managing healthcare providers is incredibly complex and heavily regulated. Organizations of all sizes are coping with inadequate, outdated tools. Founder **Todd Owens** believes that modern technology can make onboarding, managing, and engaging care teams dramatically more effective – enter Kevala. The platform targets today’s pain points by allowing facilities to quickly build, organize, and schedule a fully credentialed, on-demand workforce with just a few clicks.
