Simple Healthcare
At Simple Healthcare, our mission is to improve healthcare. We define that as taking complexity out of the system, enhancing quality while driving down costs. We envision a future where healthcare decisions are guided by clear, precise, and reliable data. Where patients have an easier experience of receiving care. Where healthcare is no longer a major threat to our nation’s economic wellbeing. Where providers don’t feel like cogs in a machine they can’t control. Where policymakers actually have simple solutions because the problems have been minimized. Yes, it’s a big dream, but we’re committed to it.
