Delivering care to those who don’t have it. Starting in rural America.

Today’s healthcare isn’t working for rural Americans.

If you live in a rural area and need care, you don't have many options. Quality care is often too far away. Or you can go to the ER and receive care that’s too costly.

We can do better.

61%

of Primary Care Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) are rural.

23%

Higher mortality rate in rural vs. urban areas.

>40%

Of rural hospitals are at high risk of closure.

What We Do.

Because where someone lives shouldn’t determine the care they receive.

We serve rural communities with our local care teams.

We work your existing doctor as part of your care team.

We enable value-based care and treat the whole patient.
