What is Edumedics?
Founded in 2010 by Alice Shade and Dr. Richard Goldstein, Edumedics operates at the intersection of clinical care and health technology. The company addresses the critical challenge of managing chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension, which frequently drive the majority of employer medical expenditures. By deploying Nurse Practitioners directly to patients and utilizing the proprietary Healthward system, Edumedics has achieved measurable success, including a 15% reduction in annual healthcare costs for its clients. The firm's model is designed to bridge the gap between traditional physician services and the daily needs of high-risk populations, positioning it as a leader in value-based care delivery.
