## Products & Services

This is paired with in-person, multidisciplinary care teams (community health workers, pharmacists, therapists, care coordinators) who provide clinical services and social support (food, housing, transportation). It is a technology-enabled clinical service model, not a pure SaaS product.

- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Partners include CVS Health (investor), Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, and Sentara Health Plans.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Proven Clinical Outcomes**: Demonstrated 48% reduction in avoidable hospitalizations and a 3:1 ROI in peer-reviewed research (*NEJM Catalyst*).
- **AI-Powered Patient Identification**: Proprietary machine learning model predicts avoidable ER/hospital utilization with 90% accuracy, enabling early intervention.
- **Community-Based Care Model**: Teams are local to the patients they serve, addressing both clinical needs and social determinants of health.
- **Public Benefit Corporation**: Legal structure ensures the company's mission (community health) is prioritized over pure profit maximization.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scale evidence-based model**: Expanding partnerships with health plans and health systems across the U.S. to bring its proven community care model to more Medicaid populations.
- **Deepen AI capabilities**: Continuing to improve the predictive accuracy and clinical decision support of its platform.
- **Strengthen care teams**: Hiring community health workers, pharmacists, therapists, and coordinators in existing and new markets.
- **Embed within health systems**: Formalizing partnerships (e.g., with Sentara Health Plans in Virginia) to integrate care delivery.

## Why Work Here
- **Mission-Driven**: An opportunity to do "meaningful, transformative work that positively impacts your community" by fixing the broken Medicaid care delivery system.
- **Culture & Values**: The company emphasizes "Bold Builders," "Humble Learners," "Experiment to Improve," and "Focused Urgency." It is described as a supportive, team-oriented environment.
- **Remote-First Structure**: Many roles are listed as "US - Remote," while patient-facing roles (Community Health Workers, Outreach Specialists) are local to specific regions (Cleveland, OH; Richmond, VA).
- **Support for Growth**: The company supports care delivery certification and licenses for its clinical staff.
- **Great Place to Work Certified**: 99% employee satisfaction rate on welcome and inclusion, per the 2025 Great Place to Work Trust Index Survey.
