culturally competent care

Kevin Dedner founded a mental health startup called Hurdle that pairs patients with therapists who “honor culture instead of ignoring it.” Ashlee Wisdom’s company, Health in Her Hue, connects women of color with culturally sensitive doctors, doulas, nurses and therapists. Nathan Pelzer built Clinify Health, which works with health providers in underserved communities to analyze medical and social data to help doctors identify their most at-risk patients. Erica Plybeah’s startup, MedHaul, works with providers and patients to secure rides for medical appointments. | CREDIT: KEVIN DEDNER; KOLIN MENDEZ PHOTOGRAPHY; AARON GANG PHOTOGRAPHY; STARBOARD & PORT CREATIVE
