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.

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.
