Jackson serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Jackson Healthcare, one of the largest health care staffing companies in the U.S., serving more than five million patients in over 1,300 health care facilities. The company also provides hospitals with logistical solutions for patient throughput and systemic operational efficiency.

For the past 34 years, Jackson has been instrumental in conceptualizing and developing more than 25 health care companies.
