This is more than a partnership, it’s a shared vision for what’s possible in healthcare innovation

‍As Mitchell aptly puts it: “The best companies are those that set expectations at the highest rung of the organization—they walk the talk—and let that flow through their entire company DNA and culture. I see this in Joy and her broader team, and I can’t wait to work alongside them to reach new heights.”

Stay tuned as we continue to grow, innovate, and share updates on our journey. We’re just getting started!
