addressing SDOH can deliver transformational results

Our expertise
A deep understanding of healthcare
Over the last two decades, we built a clinical care coordination platform, rolled it out to more than two million patients across the US before it was acquired by a subsidiary of HCSC, the largest customer-owned health plan with over $60B in revenues. From HIPAA to STAR ratings to ICD codes, we understand how healthcare works.
Experience building a national network of community partners
We've worked with 100K+ volunteer teams and partnered with thousands of community organizations across the US. We know what it takes to build a community network that extends beyond typical clinical care providers.
