Improving health outcomes

Founded for storytelling

Our Roots Originally founded to amplify voices in healthcare to create dialogue, and bring awareness to health inequity and poor patient experience. We’ve since evolved to empower patients and their care teams with communication tools to improve care quality and access.

Vision To be the solution to a critical patient-centered care hurdle: poor communication. Open and honest communication between patients and their care teams is the key to improving quality of life at an individual and population health level.
