Episode: 159 - Dr. Jennifer Schneider on Homeward Health’s Mission to Bring Affordable and Accessible
Dr. Schneider’s interest in medicine began when she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes as a preteen living in a small rural Minnesota town. After becoming a physician, her journey to CEO started with a return to her roots and a desire to help decrease the exorbitantly high mortality rates observed in rural communities across the nation.
In this episode, host Steve Krupa speaks with Dr. Jenny Schneider, CEO of Homeward Health, about the company’s recent launch, how it leverages technology to scale healthcare for underserved patients, and the mobile clinic that builds trust with rural communities and increases access to care. Schneider says, “The good and bad news about healthcare is that it’s so highly inefficient that there’s a lot that can be improved… Our ability to engage and allow people to interact with the healthcare system allows them to improve their health and ultimately costs less money.”
