About NexHealth

Our healthcare system is frustratingly analog. When you live in a world of one-tap car rides, meal delivery, and unlimited streaming, why do you have to call to schedule an appointment with a doctor and are still handed a clipboard to fill in a form? NexHealth’s mission is to accelerate innovation in healthcare. We’re doing this by connecting patients, doctors, and developers. We’re the first to fully automate the integration with health record systems, paving the way for a new generation of disruptive health-tech companies

Here's some of what we've accomplished:

1. $125M Series C at $1B valuation
2. Manage more than 75 million patient records
3. 80%+ annual revenue growth
4. Top 10% of Inc. 5000 (2022)

NexHealth 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 customers.
• Do the things others are not willing to do
  As a Nexer, always go after the hardest problems. 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.
