]]> Rachel McCrickard of Motivo Health Hilda Martinez 00:27:17 The need for mental health care far outpaces that number of care providers. The problem is made worse because there is a serious log jam of academically trained therapists who need clinical supervision to obtain licensure, but it’s difficult to get supervision. Enter Rachel McCrickard. Prompted by her own difficulties as a therapist in a rural area, Rachel created Motivo Health to help new therapists obtain licensure. Rachel created a technology-enabled tool that helps new therapists receive supervision without needing a supervisor to be physically present. Nine out of 10 tech start ups do not succeed, and often the problem is a company’s inability to scale up. Rachel, however, recognized that there is tremendous room for growth when it comes to health equity—not to mention diverse funding streams, from federal or state safety net dollars to philanthropic investments that protects her company from market volatility. In the end, by championing the social good, she raised millions for her health tech start up. Hear Rachel’s health tech startup story, and her advice to other social entrepreneurs interested in putting purpose on par with profit.

]]> Luis Emilio Suarez of Sanarai Janet Boachie, Hilda Martinez 00:25:26 Health equity is when everyone has a fair and just opportunity to pursue their best health. Yet, for millions, there are too many impediments, like cost, time, ease of access. For many people, the barriers might also be language barriers or a lack of cultural competence. During the pandemic, Luis Suarez sought care from a therapist, but had a hard time finding someone who could work with him in his native Spanish and have the cultural competency to understand some of his worldviews. He realized that there were whole populations like him struggling in silence and in stigma. He grappled with the personal and societal costs of doing nothing—then took action. Luis launched Sanarai, a health tech company that offers easy, affordable, and culturally responsive therapy through telehealth. What he created is far greater than a virtual therapists’ office. He demonstrates what it’s like to provide excellent care at an affordable cost. He also showed us that it is not only possible—but profitable—to build health equity.
