📣 Thank you to Amina Resheidat and the team at Stand Together Ventures Lab for inviting me to spend the day with an inspiring group of entrepreneurs, experts, and problem solvers at STVL's Healthcare Alignment Retreat this week in Nashville. The event utilized a design sprint approach to promote collaborative discussions on healthcare's fundamental problems and potential solutions. Grateful to all who attended and shared their insight.

When powerful minds come together, great things happen! Stand Together Ventures Lab was thrilled to host our Health Care Alignment Retreat in Nashville last week. The retreat was built with founders in mind, providing 1:1 sessions with experts ranging from top-tier leadership coaches, investors and experts closest to the problems we see in health care. This approach helps our Build Fellows better understand their "why," focus on the problems worth solving, and build strong networks to support their potential future ventures. More news to come soon about our Build Fellowship! #Entrepreneurship #HealthCare #VentureStudio #StandTogetherVenturesLab

👏 👏 Great work Jonathan Kumar and the samaritan team! 👀 check out their latest evaluation from Kaiser! Kaiser CCHE's eval: https://lnkd.in/guPfE_SW
A few years ago, I stood at a rooftop event in LA and shared a vision for samaritan. The response was flat. I then took a $31 redeye Spirit flight to DC to share a similar pitch at a Physician Burnout competition hosted by Cambia Health. It had been a $$$ trip so far and, with hotels being $300/night, I reached out on Couchsurfing for a (free) couch to crash on—hoping one of my requests would be granted by that night. I landed at 6am and crashed for a few hours on the floor of a meeting room at the conf center. Then I practiced my pitch and gave it, sharing how I believed technology + capital could help homeless “frequent flyers” at the hospital stabilize outside of hospital walls, reducing future visits & provider/staff burnout in the process. We won the comp and at the dinner the night, a 30-year ER doc back in LA, Fred Dennis, approached me with great enthusiasm. None of my Couchsurfing requests had come through. So in a great gesture of generosity, Fred let me crash in his room’s extra bed to save me from having to book a place. We discussed serving patients in great poverty and our hopes for LA. Following this experience, Fred introduced me to Marc Futernick, MD and Bruce A Greenfield MD, two innovative physicians part of CommonSpirit-Dignity Health California and HEALTH CARE LA, IPA. Over time, they were able to convince the then-ED Iris Weil to reallocate part of their unused CATERING budget (due to the pandemic) to give Samaritan a shot with 200 of their homeless patients… Iris, Marc, and Bruce were able to convince incoming-ED Sabra Matovsky, as well as Dignity Hospital leadership Bob Quarfoot and president Alina Moran, FACHE, FABC to give it a shot. Give it a shot they did, launching in 2022. With generous support from California Health Care Foundation, Kaiser CCHE (Melissa Trapp-Petty, PhD, CHES) came on to evaluate the intervention, where 200 frequent flyers would get direct financial + social support from Samaritan to enable them to take positive action steps (e.g. completing care referrals, meeting w/ their housing navigator, applying for employment, etc.) We tapped the incredible Ariel Rose Cooper to help lead this important implementation, samaritan’s first deployment in healthcare. It was not easy, and Kaiser CCHE would monitor the deployment for nearly two years, conducting 35+ interviews w/ people facing homelessness, frontline care teams partnering with them, and healthcare leadership. We knew patients using Samaritan were taking action steps & meeting critical needs (much thru generosity of samaritans like yourself investing in our Members), but truly wondered if it would lead to any meaningful clinical ROI (actually reducing ED visits, hospitalizations, etc). I’m not a cryer, but to see the validation of many years of work that now gives us the basis to reach many MANY more people these next few years just about brings tears to my eyes. This is the result of Kaiser CCHE's eval: https://lnkd.in/guPfE_SW #keeppushing

Between April 2022 and July 2023, with support from the California Health Care Foundation and in collaboration with HEALTH CARE LA, IPA and Dignity Health California Hospital Medical Center, Samaritan was implemented in five LA community health centers: St. John's Community Health, Eisner Health, T.H.E. (To Help Everyone) Health and Wellness Centers, UMMA COMMUNITY CLINIC, and Venice Family Clinic. With a shared goal of assisting individuals at risk or experiencing homelessness to gain the social and financial support needed to achieve their health and housing goals, we are thrilled to share the results! Key findings include: 💸💌 Members highlighted financial support as the most significant benefit & found messages of encouragement from the community to be both meaningful & motivating. 🚑 Emergency Department usage among Samaritan Members decreased overall by 21.4%, translating to significant cost savings for healthcare providers. 🌱 Members reported feeling empowered to take control of their well-being, fostering self-efficacy & helping them address social needs effectively. 💰 Healthcare costs for Samaritan Members were 54% lower compared to a matched control group, with an average annual savings of $5,480.67 per person. ✔️ Samaritan Members saw a 91% improvement in compliance scores, demonstrating enhanced health management & increased engagement with healthcare services. As we look forward, we remain committed to learning with our partners to expand Samaritan’s impact and support to even more individuals in need. A huge thank you to our Members for allowing us to be a part of their journey and to our partners for their invaluable support and collaboration. 🔍 Explore the full evaluation here: https://lnkd.in/guPfE_SW #DigitalHealth #Homelessness #HealthCareInnovation #HealthCareCosts #CommunityHealth

In July, we’re bringing together a cohort of some remarkable founders in Nashville to dive into some of health care’s toughest challenges. Why? Because we believe every American can—and should— have more access to increasingly innovative and affordable health care and resources that help them live healthier, more meaningful lives. We can’t wait to gather in Nashville with exceptional builders and subject matter experts to create solutions that empower patients and reduce barriers to the care and system they deserve. (Note: This picture is a fun throwback from a builders event we hosted in Austin!) #EntrepreneursShowBetterIsPossible #StandTogetherVenturesLab #STVLAlignmentRetreat
