Buy an ATC Healthcare Franchise

ATC Healthcare is a healthcare staffing franchise that places nurses, CNAs, LPNs and allied medical professionals with hospitals, senior-care companies, school systems, government agencies and public-health authorities across the U.S. Founded in 1985 by brothers David and Stephen Savitsky as an “around the clock” staffing company in Queens, New York, the brand began franchising in 1996 and now operates 60+ territories nationwide from its corporate headquarters in Lake Success, New York.

The model is business-to-business and territory-based. Franchisees recruit and place healthcare workers on temporary and permanent assignments, while ATC’s corporate operation funds and processes payroll, handles billing, invoicing and collections, and carries workers’ compensation, liability and insurance. Healthcare associates can access health and dental benefits through the parent company.

ATC is among the larger names in U.S. medical staffing, having collectively placed more than 100,000 professionals and ranked by Staffing Industry Analysts among the country’s largest healthcare staffing firms. Territories are protected, typically covering a population of around 500,000.

Why buy an ATC Healthcare Franchise?

Healthcare staffing is an essential, business-to-business service that has stayed in demand through economic cycles, driven by persistent nursing shortages and an aging population. ATC Healthcare brings nearly 40 years of operating history and a recognised name to a category where client trust and reliability carry real weight.

A defining reason to buy an ATC Healthcare franchise is the corporate back-office. ATC funds payroll for healthcare associates, so owners are not waiting on long billing and collection cycles to pay their workers, and the company handles payroll processing, billing, risk management and insurance. That removes much of the working-capital strain and administrative load independent staffing agencies carry, letting owners concentrate on sales, recruiting and local relationships within a protected territory.

ATC Healthcare – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    ATC provides 31.5 hours of classroom training at its Lake Success, New York headquarters plus 44 hours of on-the-job training, preceded by remote pre-training covering industry background, administration and marketing tools. On-site training includes building a 90-day action plan, and each franchisee is assigned a dedicated support professional. Ongoing support covers corporate payroll funding and processing, billing, collections, risk management and HR, plus proprietary software, webinars and conventions. Resale buyers should confirm what onboarding and transfer training ATC provides to incoming owners and existing staff.

  2. Ideal Owner

    ATC Healthcare suits a sales-led, relationship-driven operator comfortable with B2B business development. The owner's core work is winning contracts with hospitals, senior-care groups, schools and government clients, recruiting healthcare professionals and managing service quality, so networking, account management and people skills matter more than clinical credentials. Prior healthcare or staffing experience helps but is not required given structured training. The model fits hands-on local operators motivated to build trusted relationships and grow a recurring book of staffing business.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    ATC Healthcare has been ranked by Staffing Industry Analysts among the largest U.S. healthcare, per diem and travel-nurse staffing firms (2023), named to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies (2023), and recognised by FranServe's Fran-Tastic 500 (2024) and Franchise Times' Top 400 (#227, 2023). Earlier recognition includes Forbes' Best Temporary Staffing Firms (2020) and Entrepreneur listings, and FranchiseGrade ranks it among the top medical-staffing franchises. ATC is an IFA and VetFran member. For resale buyers, brand recognition should be weighed alongside the local unit's reputation and client relationships.

  4. Industry / Market

    The U.S. healthcare staffing market was estimated at roughly $21.6 billion in 2025 and is forecast to nearly double over the following decade (Precedence Research), supported by chronic nursing shortages and an aging population that keeps demand for temporary and permanent clinical staff high. Job openings across healthcare and social assistance rose nearly 50% between 2019 and 2023. Because facilities must stay staffed regardless of the economy, the category is widely viewed as recession-resistant, useful context for buyers weighing the durability of an existing unit's revenue.
