World Class Health

We’re thrilled to announce that World Class Health has raised $8M in seed funding, led by AlleyCorp with participation from LifeX, Joyance Partners, City Light Capital and visionary healthcare leaders like Vivek Garipalli and Munjal Shah. This funding empowers us to expand our Global Concierge Health Benefit, offering employees and their families access to the top 1% of hospitals and doctors worldwide through the largest Global Center of Excellence network. With an industry-leading 1.6% readmission rate and a 90+ NPS, we’re driving better clinical outcomes while delivering 50-70% cost savings on high-value care like musculoskeletal, cardiac, cancer, IVF, and gender affirmation procedures. Our mission is clear: ?? Eliminate barriers to high-quality, affordable healthcare ?? Transform the way employers support their teams ?? Make world-class healthcare accessible to all

We want to take a moment today to express our heartfelt gratitude to the healthcare workers worldwide. From surgeons and nurses to care coordinators and support staff, you are the backbone of patient care. Your dedication to providing top-notch medical treatment, often going above and beyond, ensures that patients receive the best outcomes possible. From our team to yours, thank you. ??

It's time to empower your global talent with the care they need, where they need it. Many U.S. employees already choose to pay out of pocket for treatment and recovery near family abroad. With World Class Health’s Global Concierge Health service, employers can now offer this as a benefit. According to a recent survey: ?? 70% of Global Citizens (first- or second-generation immigrants) said offering this benefit would make them less likely to leave their employer and more likely to recommend their workplace. ?? Nearly 50% of those expecting elective orthopedic procedures in the next 5 years would choose WCH over local care. World Class Health provides seamless access to top-tier care abroad, covering travel, treatment, and recovery—all at no cost to employees.

Our leadership team is growing! Join us in welcoming Peter Doumas as our new Chief Revenue Officer. ?? Peter brings a wealth of experience, having previously served as VP of National Key Accounts at Progyny and Anthem. At World Class Health, he will focus on expanding our reach, forging strategic partnerships, and delivering exceptional value to employers around the globe. We’re thrilled to have Peter on board as we continue our mission of making the world’s best doctors accessible to employees at the world’s best companies with our Global Concierge Health Benefit.

At World Class Health, we believe every employee deserves access to the best healthcare—no matter where they are. That’s why we’ve built the Premier Global Center of Excellence Network, connecting employees and families with access to the top 1% of hospitals and doctors worldwide. ??
