DALLAS and SAN DIEGO, Dec. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- AMN Healthcare, the leader and innovator in healthcare workforce solutions and staffing services, has been recognized as an industry leader for female representation on its Board of Directors.

AMN Healthcare (NYSE: AMN) was honored by the Women's Forum of New York at its Breakfast of Corporate Champions in November for companies that achieved at least 30% female board representation. Of the 2019 honorees recognized, less than 100 companies in the S&P 500 and Fortune 1000 had over 40% female representation on their boards. As of September 2019, AMN has 44% women on its board. The current national average for all companies is 23% female-held board seats.

"AMN Healthcare has long been committed to reflecting the remarkable diversity and unique perspectives of our communities, our clinicians and clients, and the patients they serve nationwide," said Susan Salka, President and CEO of AMN Healthcare.  "As the industry leader in healthcare workforce solutions, we take our responsibility very seriously to be a champion and role model of diversity, equality, and inclusion. We will continue to find opportunities to do our best and enable other organizations to ensure women are represented at all levels of leadership and decision making, including the board room." 

AMN Healthcare also has been recognized by 2020 Women on Boards as a "Winning" or W company for achieving 20% or more female representation on the company's Board of Directors. 2020 Women on Boards is a national campaign to increase the percentage of women on U.S. company boards to 20% or greater by the year 2020.
