As California quickly settles into a new reality with restrictions on going outside and non-essential errands we’ve decided to offer our health care services at a heavily discounted price for new members.
Over the last week, we’ve taken a series of steps to better provide help for people struggling with diabetes. For example, we’re offering free consultations with one of our doctors and answering questions from our community via Instagram. …
Recently I did not one but two different podcasts on Steady, how we got started and what our plans are for the future. I thought I’d reshare them here so that you get the chance to learn more about our origin story.

But, thus far they haven’t gone all the way to working…
We are close to the end of 2019 and I’m wrapping up my first full year working knee-deep in US healthcare. In July, we opened the doors to Steady Health, a modern clinic tackling one of the most important health crises of our time, diabetes.
This past year has been challenging, rewarding, frustrating, eye-opening and exciting. Just like with any startup in the early days, the highs have been high and the lows have been low.
