Company mission
To transform healthcare for rural communities across the county, one at a time, through advanced primary care bringing the support that providers deserve and the care that patients need.
Our take
Hopscotch Health is a MedTech startup setting its sights on addressing the healthcare needs of rural communities. Alarming statistics from the CDC highlight that individuals in these regions face a significantly higher risk of succumbing to heart disease, cancer, unintentional injury, chronic lower respiratory disease, and strokes.
While the concept of value-based healthcare, a model where healthcare providers are compensated based on patient health outcomes rather than sheer sales and services, is gaining traction and efficacy in urban areas, rural communities continue to lag behind, mirroring the disparities seen in traditional healthcare frameworks.
Despite being in early development, Hopscotch Health's trajectory largely hinges on its ability to establish valuable partnerships with payers, healthcare providers, practitioners, and the communities themselves. Nevertheless, there is ample room for optimism, given the substantial potential within an underserved market.
