We have built the largest and most scientifically-proven Community Health Worker platform in the country, used across 22 states by 77 organizations like Kaiser Permanente, arenaflex and United Way. Across multiple randomized controlled trials IMPaCT has achieved outcomes frequently believed to be out of reach, including $2,500 annual savings per patient, improved mental health and a Net Promoter Score of 94. We're making waves: on CNN, in WaPo, at the Fed...there is even a new Medicare billing code for Community Health Workers that is modeled after IMPaCT.
