Ar·dor /'ärd?r/ — noun: enthusiasm or passion

Founded in 2001, Ardor Health is a Women & Family owned and operated Nursing, Allied, and Therapy staffing agency based in Tampa, FL.

For nearly 25 years, our mission and vision have remained simple: passion and empowerment.

We deliver quality care when and where it’s needed most. Our commitment to impact beyond the contract empowers healthcare professionals to discover purpose and flexibility in their journey.

At Ardor, we don’t just recruit — we build community. We value transparency in pay (no bait & switch) and communication (no ghosting or ambiguity). You choose your assignment, and we’re right there with you, supporting and cheering you on every step of the way.

Travel Farther Together Referral Program: Payout is tiered. The $1,200 per clinician reward applies only after you’ve referred 10 or more clinicians who successfully contract with Ardor. Payouts are split: 50% when the referred clinician starts, and 50% when they reach the midpoint of their assignment.

License, Certification & CE Assistance: Reimbursements and assistance are offered on a case-by-case basis. Approval must be documented by your recruiting team and is not guaranteed for every clinician or assignment.

About Ardor Health Solutions

Ardor Health Solutions formed in 2001 and remains a privately held medical staffing business owned and operated by the same family. Over the years we have expanded our staffing and recruiting capabilities to include therapy services, nursing services, and all allied services.

If you would like the personal service that comes with a staff of recruiters that have an average tenure with the company between 5 and 15 years, and the knowledge of our client services representatives with similar experience, there is no need to look any further.

At Ardor Health Solutions you can expect better than average pay packages, extraordinary benefits, and the peace of mind that you will not be forgotten once you start your assignment. Perhaps that is why so many of our caregivers have completed more than a dozen different assignments with us over our long history.

Ardor Health is pleased to offer a free medical insurance plan in addition to major medical plans. Please contact a recruiter for more details on the free medical plan and/or any other general inquiries.

One final fact about Ardor Health Solutions. We have been paying our caregivers weekly since 2001, and we have never, ever, missed a payroll. If you are currently on an assignment with us, thank you. If you have traveled with us before, we would like to welcome you back. If you have never traveled with us, give us a try. You will not be disappointed.
