Beam & Founder’s Story

“The path to medicine was an unconventional one for me. My background was in Operation Management Information Systems (OMIS) before I decided to join the field of medicine when I lost one of my best friends and other loved ones that were critically ill. Business & tech were always my passion & still are but medicine was going to be my way of directly supporting my community. After starting my career as a hospitalist director in 2011, it was evident to me pretty quickly that healthcare, the status quo medical practice was not sustainable. Beam was started in 2014 with the simple idea of leveraging financially viable technology to its fullest to solve the iron triangle of healthcare and in the process help solve healthcare inequality. We didn’t have to do anything groundbreaking, we just had to be really good and efficient at providing quality care. Easier said than done but we accomplished it with the right team and right partners!”
