Jeff Richards Named to SIA’s Inaugural 2026 Healthcare Staffing 100
We’re proud to celebrate Jeff Richards, Co-founder of SnapCare & Chief Strategy Officer at SnapCare & connectRN, on being named to Staffing Industry Analysts’ inaugural 2026 Healthcare Staffing 100.
The new list recognizes senior and executive leaders advancing healthcare workforce solutions. Jeff joins the inaugural class of honorees whose work reflects the importance of supporting clinicians, strengthening healthcare organizations, and addressing the workforce challenges facing the industry.
Recognizing Leadership Across Healthcare Staffing
Announced by SIA on November 3, the Healthcare Staffing 100 brings together leaders from across nursing, physician and allied health staffing, international healthcare mobility, and healthcare managed service providers.
In its announcement, SIA highlighted several themes among the inaugural honorees: anticipating workforce needs, building stronger client partnerships, using technology while preserving human connections, and developing the next generation of leaders.
These themes speak to the breadth of today’s healthcare staffing conversation. It extends beyond filling an open role to considering how healthcare organizations can build workforce strategies that support the people delivering care.
For our team at SnapCare & connectRN, Jeff’s inclusion is a moment to celebrate his leadership and his place in that conversation. As a co-founder of SnapCare and our Chief Strategy Officer, he brings a perspective shaped by his work in healthcare staffing and workforce strategy.
We congratulate Jeff and all of the leaders named to this first Healthcare Staffing 100 list.
