Bringing great health care to people everywhere through innovation.
OUR MISSION
To develop and implement innovative solutions for the Social Determinants of Health, defined by NIH as Economic Stability, Education Access & Quality, Health Care Access & Quality, Neighborhood & Built Environment, and Social & Community Context.
NEW PERSPECTIVES
We are not here to recreate the wheel, but we are bent on approaching public health challenges from new perspectives and coming up with outside-the-box solutions that bring great health care to people everywhere through innovation.
EXPERTISE & LATEST TECHNOLOGIES
With the help of experts in public health, healthcare, health tech and communications, we explore strategies that elevate the social determinants of health and develop tactical solutions, leveraging the latest information and technologies, that effectively and practically address the respective issues.
OUR VISION
To those who are underserved and underprivileged, ordinary health care is anything but ordinary; it’s a slice of miracle. And we are here to do our part in bringing that miracle of hope to them.
Join us in our mission and vision. Help us bring the hope of great health to everyone in need.
5 Social Determinants of Health (SDOH)
Economic Stability
This includes factors like income, food security, and access to affordable housing.
Goal: Help people earn steady incomes that allow them to meet their health needs.
Education Access and Quality
The opportunity to attain a quality education plays a significant role in health outcomes.
Goal: Increase educational opportunities and help children and adolescents do well in school.
Health Care Access and Quality
Having access to preventive and treatment services is crucial for maintaining health.
Goal: Increase access to comprehensive, high-quality health care services.
Neighborhood and Built Environment
Safe neighborhoods with access to parks, healthy food options, and clean air are essential for well-being.
Goal: Create neighborhoods and environments that promote health and safety.
Social and Community Context
Social support networks, feelings of safety and belonging, and exposure to violence all influence health.
Goal: Increase social and community support.
What Makes Us Unique?
We approach the SDOH challenges from new perspectives to come up with outside-the-box solutions - in many cases, one-of-a-kind software/hardware solutions, leveraging latest technologies - and provide them at no cost to our Community-Based Organization (CBO) partners in major cities, so that they can utilize them in their community engagements related to the SDOH. This way, we are able to accelerate the national impact of our efforts and bring mutual benefits to us and our CBO partners.
Who Do We Serve?
Our efforts are focused on improving health outcomes for a wide range of communities, each facing unique challenges. We are committed to serving:
VETERANS: We recognize the unique healthcare needs of veterans, including mental health support, access to specialized care, and social reintegration.
LOW-INCOME FAMILIES: Economic instability often limits access to quality healthcare, housing, and education.
RACIAL AND ETHNIC MINORITIES: Health disparities among racial and ethnic minorities remain a significant challenge.
PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES: Individuals with physical or mental disabilities often face barriers to healthcare and social participation.
ELDERLY POPULATIONS: As people age, they encounter increased healthcare needs and the risk of social isolation.
HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS: Homelessness is both a cause and consequence of poor health.
