About Nurse Yard | Supporting Healthcare Heroes

Every day, healthcare professionals stand as the heart of our communities—working tirelessly to serve others with compassion and expertise. At Nurse Yard, we honor their dedication by making their challenging work a little easier, one step at a time.

Our Mission

Founded on the principles of integrity, resilience, and excellence, Nurse Yard addresses a critical need in healthcare: the perfect balance of functionality and comfort. Our premium compression socks and footwear are engineered specifically for healthcare professionals, combining innovative materials with ergonomic designs. The result’s Solutions that enhance circulation, reduce fatigue, and help our healthcare heroes perform at their best throughout their demanding shifts.

Our Story

Nurse Yard's foundation is built on a deep understanding of service, inspired by founder Tom Shankle's experience as a U.S. Navy veteran. While Tom's military background instilled in the discipline and dedication that drives our company, Nurse Yard has evolved into something greater—a brand that champions the millions of healthcare professionals who make a difference every day across America and beyond.
