June 27, 2022

Nomad Health, an online platform that connects travel nurses with healthcare jobs, raised $105 million in its latest funding round.

The round brings the total funding raised at the New York-based firm to more than $200 million.

The funding round was led by Adams Street Partners and Icon Ventures with participation from new and existing investors, including HealthQuest Capital, Polaris Partners, .406 Ventures, AlleyCorp and RRE Ventures.

The company plans to expand its marketplace beyond travel nurses to allied health professionals, including laboratory technicians, physical therapists and ultrasound technicians.

“In the past year, Nomad has experienced tremendous growth in a category we pioneered, connecting temporary healthcare workers to hospitals and healthcare systems seamlessly through technology,” CEO and co-founder Alexi Gharib Nazem, MD said.

In addition, the company announced the appointment of Maquel Shaw as the chief marketing officer and named Garheng Kong to its board.

Shaw comes to Nomad Health from Overstock.com, where she most recently served as the interim chief marketing officer.

Kong is the founder and managing partner of HealthQuest Capital, a growth capital firm focused on healthcare companies, including Tiger Connect, Castle Biosciences, Thirty Madison and Everly Health.

Nomad Health was founded in 2015 and now has a user base of more than 250,000 healthcare workers.
