Will Patterson is CareRev’s CEO and founder. Having been a nurse himself, Will experienced frustrations with the healthcare system and nurse staffing firsthand – it wasn’t until he began working as an independent contractor for an ambulance company that he realized he’d been craving the ability to build his own schedule. He founded CareRev back in 2015 with the goal of fundamentally upending the traditional healthcare workforce model with flexible staffing. Will is laser-focused on bringing local, part-time workers into the fold in ways healthcare staffing has traditionally overlooked. Once part of the very same industry he now hopes to disrupt, Will has a unique perspective on truly supporting the healthcare workforce and bringing forth a solution that mitigates today’s overwhelming staffing shortages.
