Reema Health

Born from the recognition that health is profoundly influenced by social and environmental factors, Reema Health embarked on a mission to bridge the critical gaps between healthcare and social care. The journey began in 2019, founded by Justin Ley and Matt Swanson in Minneapolis, with a clear vision: to transform the healthcare experience for the most vulnerable populations. They understood that for many, navigating the complexities of the healthcare system was only one part of the battle; securing basic needs like food, housing, and transportation was an equally significant challenge that directly impacted well-being. The founders envisioned a new model of care, one that combined the scalability of technology with the irreplaceable value of human connection.

This vision materialized in the form of tech-enabled Community Guides. These are not just case workers; they are trusted individuals from the very communities they serve, sharing similar life experiences with the members they support. This shared identity fosters a level of trust and understanding that traditional healthcare outreach often lacks. Reema's proprietary technology platform empowers these guides, using predictive data modeling to identify individuals with the most pressing unmet social needs. The platform provides the guides with the right information at the right time, enabling them to engage members meaningfully and connect them to the most relevant resources. This personalized, community-based approach has proven to be a powerful catalyst for change, demonstrating significant improvements in health outcomes, including a marked reduction in hospitalizations and overall cost of care. Reema's story is one of pioneering a more compassionate, effective, and equitable healthcare system, one relationship at a time.
