Our Vision: Unlock Healthcare's Full Capacity
Health systems still run critical operations like staffing, labor planning, and capacity on spreadsheets, phone calls, and guesswork.
Vitalize is building the AI operating system for how health systems manage labor and capacity. The impact is real: we save hospitals millions in unnecessary labor spend, give clinical leaders back 10–20 hours every week, and are often the reason staff and leaders stay.
We’re trusted by leading health systems across the country and have raised more than $31M from top healthcare and technology investors, including our own customers.
We hire and grow everyone against the same four values. Each one comes from a real Vitalize story—interview with us to hear them!
🚗 Push the Car. Step in regardless of role. We help wherever we're needed, own problems end to end, and don't stay in our lane. People can count on us.
🏥 Premier 1K. We show up for our customers, always. Nearly everyone visits a customer site in their first month, and customer feedback informs everything we do.
🗣️ Run Towards the Ugly. Name the ugliest truth first, then propose the fix. Candor over comfort—we call out what's broken, and never get complacent. This shapes our craft.
💡 Think Bigger Fridays. See the gap, fill it—no permission required. Every decision is an experiment: we run it, let the results decide, and drive real impact from day one.
Every recommendation Vitalize makes flows through this team. We build the intelligence that helps hospitals decide who should float, when to call someone in, when staffing is becoming unsafe, and eventually when the system can safely make those decisions on its own.
This is where Vitalize evolves from software that reports what’s happening into software that actively runs hospital operations.
Clinical leaders make hundreds of staffing decisions every day under time pressure using disconnected systems. We’re replacing that with software that reasons through the problem, recommends, and eventually executes the best next actions.
You’ll own the decision engine behind those recommendations, turning messy operational reality into software customers trust with some of the most important decisions inside a hospital.

Vitalize Care provides an AI-powered platform for hospital operations, focusing on optimizing staffing and scheduling. It helps health systems forecast staffing needs using predictive scheduling, align staffing levels with real-time patient demand and acuity, and automate filling open shifts with the most suitable nurses. The system saves labor costs, improves nurse allocation, and frees nurse managers from manual scheduling tasks, while offering data-driven tools to support decision-making. In addition to staffing, it also offers resources to support the mental health and well-being of healthcare professionals, such as coaching and peer support. The platform targets health systems and hospitals and is typically offered on a subscription or licensing basis as enterprise software. Its goal is to enhance operational efficiency, improve patient flow, and optimize workforce management in healthcare settings.
