We didn’t always have the support we needed from the system, so we’re creating it for you. We’re here to support health needs as they arise, providing just-in-time care that meets you where you are.
We believe that healthcare access should never be a reason children are separated from their families. Here Now Health provides the access needed to keep families together.
Caregiver support levels are one of the strongest predictors of that stability. When caregivers face burnout, the risk of placement disruption rises sharply. Supporting caregiver well-being isn’t optional, it’s essential to helping children heal.
If a child has even two case managers, that number drops to 17.5%. We support child welfare staff by providing timely care for the kids they serve. By addressing health needs quickly, we help lighten their workload and improve outcomes, so children have a better chance at stability and success.
More than half of foster families quit within their first year, often because they don’t feel supported in meeting the mental and physical health needs of the children in their care. We turn every foster home into a virtual clinic, saving families time and frustration while creating stability for children.
I founded Here Now Health in response to the countless challenges I faced trying to access care for children in my home. Over the past six years, I played a pivotal role in scaling Hazel Health into the nation’s leading provider of school-based telehealth services. Now, I’m combining my professional experience with my firsthand experience as a foster parent and CASA volunteer to do the same for youth and families impacted by the child welfare system.
Here Now Health was born from decades of firsthand experience with the child welfare system. Too often, children and caregivers struggle to access timely, quality care, leading to unnecessary hardships and instability.
Our diverse team brings a wealth of lived experience: system-impacted families and children, aged-out foster youth, foster parents, case managers, adoptees, kinship providers, and healthcare professionals—uniquely equipped to create meaningful solutions.
We are committed to meeting families where they are and transforming their experience and expectations of the healthcare system.
