Congratulations to Ilana Springer Borkenstein, Eric Gruskin, and the full M7 Health team on M7’s acquisition by Ascend Learning.
M7 was built around a problem that every health system understands: clinical staffing is one of the hardest operational challenges in healthcare. Nurse schedules need to balance coverage, cost, preferences, retention, burnout, and patient care needs, but too many teams are still stuck managing that complexity across manual processes and disconnected tools.
M7’s platform helps health systems forecast staffing needs, understand their workforce, optimize schedules, and plan ahead. The product gives nursing leaders and operational teams a better way to match staffing demand with the realities of the clinical workforce, while creating more flexible and predictable work environments for nurses.
The company has grown from a proof of concept into a workforce optimization platform powering hundreds of hospitals and supporting tens of thousands of clinicians every day. That progress reflects both the scale of the problem and the quality of the team Ilana has built.
Joining Ascend Learning gives M7 more resources, distribution, and reach to continue its mission of transforming how healthcare work gets done. We are proud to have been part of the M7 journey and excited for this next chapter.
