Virtual care is changing the game when it comes to healthcare disparities in America. Rural Americans, people of color, and those in underserved urban communities like the Bronx, NY (where I worked for a number of years) face significant barriers in accessing traditional healthcare. But with virtual care, we can overcome these obstacles and achieve better health equity. A recent Forbes article highlights the impact of virtual care in achieving equitable healthcare access. While many have suggested virtual care can worsen disparities, at Sword Health, we have seen firsthand the outsized benefits that virtual care can bring to traditionally disadvantaged Americans when implemented in the right way. The pandemic accelerated the adoption of virtual care, and we are now seeing the positive effects of carrying it out in the right way. As we implement virtual solutions, when we deeply understand traditional barriers to care and overcome these, we will realize powerful drivers for health equity.

Another quarter in the books with 100% revenue growth YoY, beating forecasts by 10%, delivering 580,000 AI sessions, and saving our clients millions in wasteful healthcare costs. Our Member Net Promoter Score for Q1 was 72, with client satisfaction reaching 9.5 out of 10, highlighting our commitment to exceptional care and value for our members and clients. When these elements are prioritized, rapid growth naturally follows. Of course, all of this is only possible because we have the best members, clients, and team, for whom we are deeply grateful.
