Story:

Healthcore started over 15 years ago when I was working in a typical outpatient orthopedic practice and grew frustrated with what felt like "revolving door" treatment. I would treat a patient's symptom or injury-rehabilitating after back surgery, for example- but had limited influence to treat the rest of that person's lifestyle. After a patient was discharged, they would often return back to physical therapy with similar or worsening symptoms because traditional physical therapy did not address the root cause and improve a patient's lifestyle.

The catalyst for Healthcore’s creation was witnessing the devastating impact cancer had on the quality of life of several close family members and friends.  A local cancer hospital did not exist and there were very few cancer survivorship services. I decided to open my own practice and listened carefully to the needs of my patients. I offered physical therapy, exercise, mind-body stress reduction classes, and nutrition programs––essentially lifestyle medicine––and had incredible success with my patients. Through my pioneering work in improving cancer survivorship and women’s health programs, I was a consultant for the first comprehensive oncology rehab program for cancer centers and hospitals. Several years later, I sold my initial company to a national women’s health start-up company. Additionally, I helped start the women’s health physical therapy program at Yale-New Haven Hospital. 

After working on a multi-site mobile health cardiac rehab research project, I realized it was not the digital health platform nor the intervention that was the primary benefit for patients, but the personal interaction and weekly health coaching.‍
