We are committed to do better for them: To put their best interests in the front of our minds and center of our hearts and channel that passion every day to boldly remove these barriers.
By partnering with parents, caregivers, providers, community resources, and health plans, we provide these children with more access to virtual-first and in-home medical, behavioral, and social care and empower them and their families to get the unwavering 24/7 support they deserve. We don’t replace a child's existing care team. Instead, we work with them to give every patient an expanded layer of support by delivering unlimited virtual-first and in-home care, day and night. Every step toward that goal, we take with equal parts compassion and creativity. Together, we’re always reaching for the profound impact that we know we can and must make.
Every day we boldly challenge old approaches and seek out new and better ways to improve the health and lives of children with special health care needs. We know we can’t solve every challenge in the lives of these kids, but we can work tirelessly to give them, their families, and other caregivers the help and relief they need, right when they need it. We know a better approach to pediatric health care is within reach, and we are committed to seizing it today.
