A nurse director was asked to trim her workforce. Her own calculator found the unit was 9.6 full-time nurses short - and gave Heidi Morin the blueprint for a company built between the bedside and the budget office.
Matthew Levesque is chief executive of IntelyCare, the Quincy, Massachusetts nurse-staffing platform that pairs per-diem shifts with roughly a million registered nursing professionals. He arrived in July 2024 after running Groups Recover Together and, before that, connectRN, and before that spending twelve years at athenahealth as it grew from a hundred-million-dollar company to a $1.3 billion one. In December 2025 he engineered IntelyCare's acquisition of CareRev, combining two of the loudest names in shift-based nurse labor into a single platform for hospitals and post-acute facilities.
Ilana Borkenstein is the co-founder and CEO of M7 Health, a New York healthtech company building nurse staffing and scheduling software designed by the people who live the night shift. A registered nurse who worked a bone marrow transplant unit at Memorial Sloan Kettering - the literal M7 floor the company is named for - she turned a Harvard Business School class project into a platform now used daily by tens of thousands of clinicians across more than 60 hospitals. M7 has raised about $17 million, including a $10 million Series A led by Threshold Ventures, on a single idea: fix nurse scheduling not as a math problem but as a human one.
