What Redesign is all about

Redesign’s mission is to transform the healthcare system and empower people to live their healthiest lives by elevating patient experiences, increasing information transparency, and democratizing access to high quality healthcare.

Our vision is to connect extraordinary people and ideas with capital and resources to create better healthcare solutions.

At Redesign, we value achieving results thoughtfully, quickly, and compassionately. To give a sense of what our team is all about, these are the values that guide our work:

• Solve for impact: Healthcare is complex and opaque, but we’re positioned to meet the challenge. If not us, then who?
• Patients first: We are all consumers of healthcare. We create real solutions for real needs.
• Outcome over egos: Our work is bigger than us. What we’re building together is greater than the sum of the parts.
• Bias for action: We move fast, but we’re deliberate. We don’t delay success or failure.
• Continuous learning: We seek feedback early and often. Iteration and insight allow us to connect the dots and are key to our process.
• Practice good intent: We take our work seriously, but we’re never too busy to be kind.
