We are pleased to share our latest white paper, where we examine the health challenges facing society and how Clear Coast Partners is positioned to address them. Our team is deeply committed to creating positive impact and lasting change for society. By investing in solutions that remove barriers to agency and independence in the health and care space, we seek to ease the emotional and financial burden of health challenges facing individuals and communities. We primarily focus on underserved populations, including women, children, and the elderly, where we see a great need to address health disparities and an enormous and growing opportunity to create a positive impact alongside financial returns. In the paper, we explore the substantial and unaddressed needs of large, underserved populations, describe how we use best practices to establish and measure clear impact goals, and demonstrate the active partnership approach we take with portfolio companies to broaden their reach and expand their depth. Drawing upon recent research conducted by impact industry leaders like The Global Impact Investing Network and United Nations (Sustainable Development Goals), as well as published findings from the McKinsey Health Institute, World Health Organization, and World Economic Forum, we believe the subject matter is both timely and relevant. We hope you'll discover value in delving deeper into a topic that lies at the heart of our mission. #Sustainable #HealthCare #ImpactInvesting

Dimitri and Evan recently represented Clear Coast at this year's HLTH conference providing insights into key topics affecting healthcare.
I recently had the pleasure of representing Clear Coast Partners at this year's #HLTH conference. It was great networking with and hearing from like-minded innovators, investors, and thought leaders who recognize many of the same challenges and opportunities facing our healthcare system. A few themes that stood out: 1) Transition from fee-for-service to value-based care is top of mind for many of the policy experts and companies we heard from. 2) AI has the potential to positively disrupt healthcare, but it remains to be seen what modalities will prevail. The strongest near term use cases in my view are those that can alleviate administrative burden for providers. 3) Growing expectation by patients for on-demand access to medical data and healthcare services, whether by wearables/devices or through telehealth solutions. We’ll be keeping a close eye on these trends, as they align with many of our areas of focus at Clear Coast Partners.
