Who we are

Summer Health is on a mission to raise the healthiest generation by improving health outcomes for millions of children. We believe that every family and child deserves quick, reliable access to pediatric care when they need it most.

Every pediatric care journey should start with a simple text. On average, parents spend more than 3 hours a day managing non-scheduled medical needs for their children. With the uncertainty of after-hours care and the decline in professionals practicing medicine, the current medical system is not set up to respond to the round-the-clock needs of caregivers.

Summer Health is the first step and ongoing tool for anyone navigating health concerns, offering timely text access to high-quality healthcare professionals who provide expert answers and reliable advice over text.

Our investors include Sequoia, Lux, Chelsea Clinton’s Metrodora Capital, Box Group and many more.
