Our take
Ro is a direct-to-patient healthcare company on a mission to help patients achieve their health goals by delivering the easiest, most effective care possible.
It's the only company offering nationwide telehealth, labs, and pharmacy services, too. This was enabled by Ro's vertically integrated platform that helps patients achieve their goals through a convenient, end-to-end healthcare experience spanning from diagnosis to delivery of medication to ongoing care.
Since 2017, the company has helped millions of patients, including one in every county in the United States, and in 98% of primary care deserts.
