Working to solve the workforce shortage
“At Grapefruit Health, we are on a mission to help solve the healthcare workforce shortage. In the USA alone, we will be short by 3.2 million healthcare workers by the year 2026. We address this issue by recruiting, training, and managing clinical students to perform affordable interactions with patients remotely. There are 1 million students enrolled into clinical programs across the country today. This is a win multiplied by four: 1. students gain needed experience while earning income, 2. patients are finally getting the outreach they desperately need which has been further neglected with the recent pandemic, 3. Healthcare organizations are able to greatly scale their social care outreach at a fraction of the price, and 4. Clinical programs are able to support their students with achieving their required clinical experience.”
