Homeward

The healthcare disparities faced by rural communities in the U.S. are stark and concerning. Access to quality care, preventive services, and health resources is limited, contributing to higher mortality rates and challenges. With nearly 60 million Americans residing in rural areas, the need for innovative solutions is more pressing than ever. Our 7wire Ventures team took a deep dive into Rural Health and the potential of healthcare technology to revolutionize care delivery in rural America with companies like GroundGame.Health, Homeward, Hopscotch Health, Wildflower Health, Babyscripts, Soda Health, Heartbeat Health, and more. Looking ahead, we predict a shift towards value-based care models, an emphasis on preventive interventions, and increased focus on virtual specialty access.

Today on #NationalRuralHealthDay, I’m reflecting on the “Power of Rural”— At Homeward, we see the power in rural, rooted in partnerships and community.

Rural health is, and must be, a national priority. Today and every day, we honor the strength, power and potential within rural America and remain dedicated to ensuring that every community receives the care it deserves.
