Continuum Clinical Partners, Healthcare Support team, nurse triage, after hours clinical support
Zachary Newkirk, RN | Founder/CEO
Zachary is a Registered Nurse and healthcare entrepreneur with a background spanning emergency medical services, emergency nursing, and critical care. His clinical experience on the front lines of healthcare—responding to urgent situations, managing high-acuity patients, and supporting individuals during vulnerable moments—shaped his understanding of where traditional care models often fall short.
After years of witnessing the challenges patients face outside of normal office hours, and the strain placed on practices and providers to remain accessible around the clock, Zachary founded Continuum Clinical Partners to help close those gaps. His vision is centered on practical, nurse-led solutions that extend access to timely clinical guidance while maintaining safety, consistency, and continuity of care.
Zachary remains deeply committed to building scalable healthcare services that empower nurses, support providers, and improve the patient experience through thoughtful workflows, evidence-based triage, and always-on clinical support.
