Better Health is creating a new kind of care platform, built on peer-to peer-connection. Our solution bundles peer coaching, education, and home delivery of medical supplies for people with chronic conditions. We don’t just help our members discover and purchase the best medical supplies. We provide support that they can’t get anywhere else, and match them with a peer coach who lives with the same condition. The result? Improved mental health, reduced overutilization of care, and a 97% customer satisfaction rating.

Better Health is a national provider serving Medicare, Medicaid and commercial populations. We are backed by Caffeinated Capital, Mastry Ventures, General Catalyst, 8VC, Bill Ackman, and a group of experienced founders and operators.
