  • Overnight we doubled our consult volume across our partners.
  • We recruited credentialed and trained 120% more clinicians in our Care Team.
  • We stood up a COVID-19 Response, which included clinical protocols and training for COVID screening, triage, care navigation and virtual care for test-positive patients across thousands of clinicians and partners.
  • We said yes to servicing new white-labeled market segments that showed up on our front door, like remote patient monitoring, direct-to-consumer lab testing, retail practices, and tech companies.
  • We rolled out a national synchronous service line.
  • We shared our internal regulatory tracker openly across the industry.
  • We provided mental health services to our Care Team, of which 60% are still practicing in clinics and hospitals on the front lines.
  • And we tested the grit of our amazing team of Wheelies, who stepped up to the intellectual and mental challenges of working around the clock to serve more, and serve better. We turned a dark season in our nation’s history into a moment of pride and honor for the healthcare community.
