Wend Care partners with local health systems to connect healthcare workers to the employers that can help them achieve their goals.
Our Philosophy
We never charge organizations subscription, setup, or advertising fees. Our employer partners only pay when a Wend Care applicant is hired.
About Us
In 2009, brothers Patrick and Daniel Brown founded Occam Education to help students find and win admission to competitive university programs that fit their unique interests and career goals.
To make Occam's admissions advising tips and test preparation resources more accessible, they launched the app Wend in 2021. Over time, many app users expressed interest in entry-level healthcare careers that did not require the college degrees promoted within Wend.
Based on this user feedback, Daniel and Patrick launched Wend Care in November 2023 to connect users to the resources that will allow them to further their healthcare careers.
Now, we partner with hospitals, training programs, and health systems to complement existing recruiting efforts, minimize costs, and create an ecosystem of future workers.
