Founded in late 2021 by healthcare veterans Dr. <span class=\"xn-person\">Ana Fuentevilla<\/span>, M.D. and <span class=\"xn-person\">Austin Pittman<\/span>, Suvida Healthcare is poised to deliver a transformative healthcare experience to the seniors it serves.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As a first-generation Cuban-American immigrant, trained geriatrician, and family caregiver, I have experienced firsthand the many ways our existing system fails our most vulnerable seniors and their families,&#8221; said Dr. <span class=\"xn-person\">Ana Fuentevilla<\/span>, Suvida&#8217;s Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer. &#8220;The ongoing pandemic has placed a spotlight on what has been true for a long time \u2013 seniors from historically marginalized groups experience systemic cultural and social barriers to high-quality and accessible care, resulting in significant disparities in health outcomes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Over the next 30 years, the senior population in America is projected to significantly increase, with the percentage of seniors who identify as Hispanics growing twice as fast as the overall 65+ population, comprising almost 20% of the senior population in <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span> by 2050[1].<br \/>These populations face significant barriers to health and care, leading to worse health outcomes, including higher rates of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and behavioral health issues.<\/p>\n<p>To address these issues, Suvida aims to deliver a team-based, neighborhood-centric model of care rooted in cultural competence and community engagement. Suvida plans\u00a0to provide evidence-based care to patients through a combination of in-person visits in its newly developed neighborhood centers, at-home care and support from licensed providers and community health workers, and virtual capabilities that enable communication with care teams between visits. Understanding the critical role of caregivers and multigenerational families in the neighborhoods it serves, Suvida seeks to provide training, support, and resources to empower and support these caregivers to be active participants in improving the health outcomes of their loved ones. Suvida also plans to offer transportation services as well as intentional educational and wellness programming within its neighborhood centers to its members.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our vision is to improve the quality of life for historically underserved seniors and those that care for them in neighborhoods across the US,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Austin Pittman<\/span>, Suvida&#8217;s Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer. &#8220;We hope to achieve this by deeply embedding ourselves in the neighborhoods we serve through building relationships, earning trust, and exceeding expectations. We fundamentally believe that seniors have earned the right to an exceptional healthcare experience that treats each person and their families with dignity and respect.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The initial funding from General Atlantic and Town Hall Ventures is expected to enable Suvida to scale its model while working toward developing aligned partnerships with Medicare Advantage plans to take full financial and clinical accountability for the patients it serves.<\/p>\n<p>Suvida will begin accepting patients at its neighborhood centers in the <span class=\"xn-location\">Houston<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Austin, TX<\/span> areas beginning in late 2022.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wcag-arialevel-3\" style=\"display: block; font-size: 1.17em; margin-block-start: 1em; margin-block-end: 1em; margin-inline-start: 0px; margin-inline-end: 0px; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\"><b>About Suvida Healthcare<\/b><\/div>\n<p>Suvida Healthcare is a multidisciplinary primary care program built to address the physical, behavioral, social, and cultural needs of Medicare-eligible, Hispanic seniors and those that care for them in neighborhoods across <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span>.
