How these healthcare innovators are fighting for their patients

At Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies Summit, leaders from Cityblock Health, Hazel Health, Folx Health, and Maven Clinic talked about navigating a fraught political climate. Some of the most innovative companies in the healthcare space right now have found success by catering to communities that have been left behind by an entrenched system one that has failed to adequately serve the most marginalized patients in the U.S. There’s Cityblock Health, which provides primary care and behavioral health services to those on Medicaid, while Hazel Health offers telehealth services through schools, with the intent of reaching children who face housing insecurity and financial hurdles to getting the care they need. Other companies, like Folx Health and Maven Clinic, partner with employers to provide gender-affirming care and comprehensive reproductive health services to a wide range of patients.
