Blue Water and Vivian Health Launch Exclusive Housing Discount Program for Traveling Nurses
Partnership Aims to Ease Lodging Costs for Healthcare Workers on the Move
OCEAN CITY, Md., Aug. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Water, a leader in hospitality and outdoor recreation, announced a strategic partnership with Vivian Health, the largest online marketplace for healthcare talent that's transforming how clinicians find jobs and connect with employers, to launch a new housing discount program tailored to the needs of traveling nurses.
The partnership gives Vivian Health's community of more than two million healthcare professionals access to exclusive savings at Blue Water's portfolio of properties nationwide. The initiative directly addresses the rising cost of temporary housing, which often consumes more than 30% of a travel nurse's income.
Exclusive discounts available to Vivian Health Nurses include:
- 12% off long-term stays (28 nights or more)
- 20% off short-term stays (2–14 nights)
- $100 off per month at select "Hot Deals" properties
This collaboration comes at a critical time for the industry. The travel nursing market, which soared from $6.5 billion in 2019 to $42.7 billion in 2022, is expected to stabilize at $19.5 billion in 2025. Meanwhile, the U.S. healthcare system faces a projected shortage of more than one million registered nurses by 2030.
"As the demand for travel nurses continues to grow, we saw an opportunity to support these essential workers in a meaningful way," said Rafael Correa, President and CFO of Blue Water, who also spoke in an interview with Vivian Health. "They give so much of themselves every day. They deserve to be taken care of too, and that includes having access to affordable, reliable housing."
"Travel nurses often face logistical and financial hurdles that can distract from their core mission - caring for patients," said Parth Bhakta, CEO of Vivian Health. "Our partnership with Blue Water offers a trusted, cost-effective housing solution that's designed around their mobile lifestyle, while also benefiting the communities where they serve."
