ATC Healthcare has become a standout example of growth and innovation in the healthcare staffing industry. Under the visionary leadership of CEO David Savitsky, the company has experienced a remarkable surge in sales, nearly doubling from 2020 to 2022.
This impressive growth, reaching $231 million across 64 units, is a testament to the effective blend of franchise expertise and cutting-edge technology.
The company's journey, as featured in Franchise Times magazine, is a compelling story of how a company can achieve sustainable growth by harmonizing franchise expertise with technological innovation.
The company's ability to nearly double its sales in just two years is a clear indicator of its effective strategies and forward-thinking approach.
David Savitsky emphasizes the crucial role of franchisees in the company's success. He believes that the sustainable growth of the business is largely attributed to franchisees diligently following the company's proven program.
By buying into ATC Healthcare, franchisees are not just investing in a brand but are embracing the rich experience and expertise that the company offers. This approach has been instrumental in the system's rapid expansion and robust sales figures.
In recent years, ATC Healthcare has not only relied on its brand experience but has also significantly incorporated technology into its operations. As Savitsky explains, the core of their business involves recruiting personnel and deploying them to client work sites. Recognizing the potential of technology in streamlining this process, the company has recently implemented a sophisticated tracking system.
This system is integrated with the company's recruiting advertisements on platforms like Indeed. When potential candidates click on these ads, they are automatically entered into the tracking system. This innovation simplifies the application process, allowing candidates to effortlessly submit their applications and credentials.
Furthermore, ATC Healthcare has introduced a scheduling package that revolutionizes how assignments are managed. This technology makes it easier for employees to accept assignments and enables clients to efficiently post job openings. Such technological advancements not only enhance operational efficiency but also significantly improve the experience for both employees and clients.
As ATC Healthcare keeps adapting to the rapidly changing health and medical staffing sector, it sets an example for the industry by showing how blending traditional business knowledge with new technology can lead to success.
Their journey, marked by significant sales growth and industry leadership, serves as an inspiration in the healthcare staffing field.
ATC Healthcare CEO David Savitsky quoted by Staffing Industry Analysts regarding the pressing industry issue of temporary employee classification. For a more detailed understanding, we invite you to read the full article here.
In the ongoing debate about the classification of temporary nursing staff, David Savitsky, CEO of ATC Healthcare Services, offers a clear stance. The controversy centers on whether these professionals should be considered independent contractors or employees, a topic that has stirred significant discussion within the healthcare staffing industry.
"Nurses working through staffing firms as W-2 employees have the same rights to turn down assignments or ask for higher pay," Savitsky points out.
Savitsky, a seasoned executive in healthcare staffing, firmly believes that temporary nursing staff should not be classified as independent contractors. He argues that there is no substantial difference between the roles filled by temporary nurses through traditional medical staffing companies and those proposed to be classified as independent contractors.
"They really aren’t independent contractors, and they just don’t meet the standard," Savitsky asserts. "This to me is just a stretch, a big stretch."
Savitsky highlights the practical aspects of this classification. Staffing firms provide essential support such as insurance, workers' compensation, disability insurance, and professional liability insurance. These are critical in hospital settings, where injuries like needle sticks, back injuries, and slips and falls are common.
In contrast, independent contractor nurses would need to secure their own coverage and handle their taxes, which, according to Savitsky, does not align with the nature of their work.
David Savitsky, CEO of ATC Healthcare Services, quickly responded to the COVID-19 outbreak by preparing his team and significantly staffing New York City hospitals with nurses, increasing the company's business. ATC Healthcare, known for prioritizing workplace safety, is part of the U.S. temporary staffing industry, highlighted in a Forbes and Statista survey that ranks the best staffing firms.

Owner of ATC Healthcare Services - Youngstown, Gina McLaughlin, started her office alone as NurseCall Inc. in 2003. She hired 5 RN friends, including herself, and secured local contracts from four hospital systems in her hometown. At the time, she was already an agency nurse working through another agency.
Due to the incredible work Gina was doing in Youngstown, ATC Healthcare Services President, Stephen Savitsky, called her and offered to fly her to New York, and have her become a strategic partner of ATC Healthcare Services. The rest is history!
When she came on board with David and Steve, she was billing $450,000/year. Last year, she billed $5,200,000 and has a goal of doubling it.
Being a single mom, Gina needed to find a way to make a living. She was a traveling nurse for 15 years, so she knew that she could succeed in this industry. She chose her territory because she had already made relationships with the hospital systems in her hometown. The close proximity of Cleveland and Akron also made it an ideal location with a lot of opportunities.
ATC Healthcare Services - Youngtown maintains a local presence in its community. This, paired with the ability to network and find power partners, has allowed them to facilitate business opportunities for one another. She also donates annually to a non-profit organization in our community on behalf of ATC Healthcare Services and Carebuilders at Home, ATC’s homecare sister franchise.
This 20-year celebration was a true celebration of success. Gina states, “I could not have achieved this without family, friends, and colleagues. Together, as a community, we made relationships with so many people who have been there for my office, and I have been there for them. My office team is great! They love what they do, and our success is a result of their efforts. I’ve learned over time, find the right people, give them the tools to be successful and they will be!”
