Catalyst by Wellstar believes that solving healthcare problems requires looking beyond traditional healthcare solutions. They recognize that ‘not all healthcare problems are solved by healthcare solutions,’ which is why they strategically invest in ‘real-world, revolutionary ideas from across industries to solve big healthcare and corporate challenges.’ Their approach is mission-driven and grounded in the conviction that improving healthcare requires rebuilding trust, representation, and access at the foundation of care, while also recognizing that ‘technology alone will not fix’ complex health issues like maternal health disparities.
