Primary care for all
To change the trajectory of health in our country, we must empower primary care to make the greatest impact on the most people possible. At Catalyst we’re working relentlessly to do just that. Because when we say that we believe in primary care for all, we mean everyone.
We have the responsibility to spark meaningful change.
The lasting health of our communities begins by prioritizing the health of the people who live there.
Communities deserve more than the increasingly broken healthcare system we’ve inherited
For many in our country, healthcare fails to deliver on its promise, and it comes at an unaffordable cost. The price we pay is steep. In 2019 alone, nearly $4 trillion went toward healthcare, diverting money away from other necessities like housing, food, education and infrastructure. By creating a better model for healthcare, we can help put money back into the community, where it belongs.
Healthcare spending devastates social determinants of health.

Innovation must connect
the healthcare experience—not fracture it
For too long patients have been pushed to become the navigators of their own care. That’s not empowering—it’s isolating. We look for opportunities to connect and support the entire health journey, to ensure each patient’s experience is as seamless and successful as possible.
For patients it means moving the healthcare experience from expected frustration to unexpected delight.
Those who earn the most trust will produce the most meaningful change
When people believe in the work they do, the care they give and the people they do it with—so much is possible.
