Main content

When Susan Salka joined AMN Healthcare, it was a small, “mom and pop” travel nurse company. Nearly 30 years later it is the largest healthcare staffing provider in the world, and Salka has been there every step of the way. As CEO, Salka considers her role to be the “culture and engagement obsesser,” remaining focused on not only supplying top talent, but making sure talent has the best environment to grow, develop, and live their passion. Salka considers her team’s biggest achievement in recent years to be positioning AMN Healthcare as a total workforce partner for clients.
