Our take
The lack of integrated medical records is one of the largest obstacles the healthcare industry faces. Clinics must organize appointments and manage both paper and electronic health records, a process which is time-consuming and error-prone.
NexHealth is setting out to change this by building its own data-sharing highway. The platform enables real-time scheduling of healthcare appointments, care-to-patient communications and digital record management. Not only does this help doctors digitize their practices and provide a better patient experience, but it also means developers at other healthcare companies can use NexHealth’s piping (rather than integrate with hundreds of different electronic health records).
In 2022, NexHealth reached a valuation of over $1B, solidifying its status as a Unicorn, and with the support of numerous investors, the company is poised for further expansion. The recent announcement of a new office in Utah (its largest physical presence), marks an exciting new chapter in NexHealth's journey, offering the chance for more groundbreaking work and the expansion of its team.

Company values
- Solve the customer’s problems, not yours: When making decisions, think from the perspective of the customer. It’s easy to make decisions that make our lives simpler, but not the customer's
- Do the things others are not willing to do for our customers: As a Nexer, always go after the hardest problems for our customers. Pursue things at the highest quality. Move at the fastest pace
- Take ownership: Act like a founder. Own your roles, destinies, mistakes, behavior, and our mission. The buck stops with each of us - no blaming or excuses
- Say what’s on your mind, with positive intent: Be direct, proactive, transparent, and frequent in your communication
- Default trust: As a Nexer, you do not have to earn trust, trust is given to you by default. If we by default trust each other, our speed of communication, feedback, information sharing, and overall improvements will be a lot faster
- Think in first principles: We first identify the problem and then break it down to its fundamentals before diving into solutions. We constantly ask “why” to validate our assumptions.
- Live in the details: As a Nexer, you should know all the details about all the things you do. If you’re in the details, you will make high quality decisions
