About Soko Healthcare

Meet Leah, the connector behind Soko.

Leah Sokolovsky, RN, founded Soko Healthcare to connect phenomenal nurses with facilities where they can do their best work, and stay. She gets to know both sides, what a nurse wants from her career and what a facility needs from its next hire, and makes the introduction only when the fit is real.

Why Soko exists

Nursing is a calling. Finding the right place to answer it shouldn’t be this hard.

Leah grew up in a family of medical professionals and built her own career in healthcare, first as a paramedic and then as a registered nurse.

When she moved from New York to Florida and went looking for her next nursing job, the search felt overwhelming and impersonal: plenty of listings, and no one asking what she actually wanted. The nurses she met had been through the same thing.

What was missing wasn’t jobs. It was someone on the nurse’s side who also understood what facilities need. Leah set out to be that person, and Soko Healthcare is the result.

The connector

Leah works both sides of every placement.

A great placement needs someone who understands the nurse and the facility equally well. That is Leah’s role at Soko.

For nurses

She starts with your goals.

The units you love, the schedule your life needs, and where you want your career to go. Leah looks for the role that fits all of it, not just the next opening.

For facilities

She learns what your team needs.

The role today, the gap behind it, and the team you are building for the long run. Leah introduces nurses she believes will do the work well and stay.

Request nurses

Her relationships run both ways: nurses through the Soko Nurse Network, and the facility leaders who hire them.

The vision

Phenomenal nurses, in places they’ll stay.

Success at Soko isn’t a filled opening. It’s a nurse who is still glad she took the role a year later, and a facility that calls again.

How Soko makes it happen

A network, a nurse, and a matching system.

Leah’s standards, built into how Soko works for every request.

Soko Nurse Network

A growing, private, referral-built community of nurses that Soko curates. Your opening goes to our own network first, not a job-board posting.

Reviewed by a registered nurse

Soko was founded by a registered nurse. Every candidate is reviewed for units, patient loads, and fit with the role before an introduction.

Soko Match

Every opening and every nurse is captured on the same details: license, setting, units, shift, and location. Requests are scored the moment they arrive, so the strongest matches move first.

What guides every match

Three standards, for every nurse and every facility.

01

Fit over speed

A fast hire that doesn’t last helps no one. Every match weighs license, setting, units, and shift, and the goals behind them.

02

Nurses as professionals

Every nurse is known as a person with a career, not a profile in a database.

03

Direct hire, for the long run

Soko introduces nurses for direct hire onto the facility’s own staff, full-time or part-time. We do not staff shifts.
