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)

• Take ownershipAct 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 intentBe direct, proactive, transparent, and frequent in your communication. 
• Default trustAs 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.
