CareMessage is a non-profit dedicated to using mobile technology to improve healthcare outcomes for underserved patient populations. Since our patient engagement product launched in 2013, we have grown to work with over 200 healthcare organizations across the United States and have reached over 2 million lives.

Our web-based platform allows healthcare providers to reduce no-shows, increase attendance to preventive care screenings, and improve chronic disease management- all via simple nudges sent through text message. Besides improving the efficiency of the clinics that use our product, our impact has been shown through numerous clinical studies showing improvements in diabetes management and cancer screenings.

We have big goals in 2020: 1) Reach millions of patients on a monthly basis 2) Become profitable through a financially sustainable business model and 3) Build a diverse team that fully reflects the users it serves. We represent the next generation of healthcare technology organizations with an innovative product, business model, and remote-first organizational structure. Our long term goal is to impact healthcare outcomes globally.

To fund our growth we have raised over $21 million in funding from organizations like Google.org, William K. Bowes Jr. Foundation, Pershing Square Foundation, YCombinator, Schmidt Futures, Twilio.org, CVS Health Foundation, among others. In 2019 we became a remote-first company with ~50 people based across the United States and around the world.

Why join us?

Get to work on a meaningful problem in healthcare without compromising on building strong technical skills, surrounded by people that are equally passionate about the work and knowledgeable in their fields.
As an organization, CareMessage has been a trailblazer in many ways. We are one of the first tech non-profits to go through YCombinator, one of the few non-profits projected to reach full sustainability, and a leader in designing products for underserved populations. We proved out a market in communication in healthcare and others have followed our lead.
CareMessage is projected to be self-sustaining by 2020. We’ve been funded by Google.org, Pershing Square Foundation, Twilio.org, YCombinator, Eric Schmidt Futures, and others

Working at CareMessage

We aren’t your typical non-profit. We’ve adopted an innovative business model and operate just like a tech startup. Our goal is to be self-sustainable so that we can be here for the long haul and maximize our social impact.

We embrace thinking outside the box and encourage an environment where everyone has a seat at the table. We value and seek the ideas that people bring to the team from a variety of backgrounds.

Our team members work wherever they like — their home, favorite coffee shop, or on the beach — during the hours that best suit their lifestyles. We’ve found that remote employees have more freedom, increased productivity, and the ability to keep a healthy work-life balance. Being a fully remote team has also empowered us to work with the best talent from all around the world.
