Our take
The US healthcare system is complex and difficult to navigate. This leaves many patients overwhelmed with paperwork and insurance claims, and struggling against limited provider availability.
Solace has set out to tackle this issue, by connecting patients with expert healthcare advocates. These professionals, including former doctors and nurses, offer support and guide patients through their healthcare challenges.
With substantial funding to its name, Solace is in a position to expand its services, grow its network of advocates, and enhance coverage across Medicaid and private insurance plans. Alongside a partnership with Medicare, Solace aims to make healthcare advocacy more accessible and continue empowering patients with expert support.
