Happy National Nurses Week! Nurses Make the Difference is the perfect theme. At Guaranteed Hospice we see the difference made every single day for our patients, families, and the other team members. Thank you to all the nurses who show up each day and make a difference. And a very special thank you to our nurses for choosing to make a difference at Guaranteed.

What an incredible night! Thank you to everyone who was able to make it to Guaranteed's Healthcare Predictions event last week. We had a packed house of ~150 attendees. The panel shared their expertise on topics top of mind for the industry. Here's a sample of what was touched on: > Building defensibility with product moat and business fundamentals > Challenges and promises of AI adoption from business model realities to product potential > Public market comps, IPO window opening in H2, the difficulty of completing an M&A, and consolidation realities > Whitespace in “asset-light” businesses like MSO / enablement platforms > Opportunity in women’s health, data collection for underserved patients, equity considerations Thank you to Sophia Geanacopoulos for moderating the discussion and to Daisy Wolf, Sofia Guerra, and Priyanka Jain for their insights into 2024! And a huge shout out to our co-host, Company Ventures, which sponsors Grand Central Tech (GCT). We went through their program last year and had a blast.

We're excited to share our last panelist for tomorrow's 2024 Predictions event: Priyanka Jain, Co-Founder & CEO of Evvy. Priyanka made a splash for her women's health startup, raising a large Series A earlier this year. She has been covered by Forbes, which described Evvy's plans for using AI to make vaginal health more accessible to all women. Evvy announced a strategic partnership last January with NYC Mayor Eric Adams called the “New York City Women’s Health Agenda.” The new initiative is designed to dismantle decades of systemic inequity that have negatively impacted the health of women across the 5 boroughs of NYC. With Priyanka on the panel, you can expect bold takes on what the future of women's health can look like - from biomarker discovery to elevating the conversation online.

Last week, Guaranteed had 100+ healthtech founders, investors, operators, clinicians, and enthusiasts join us for our NYC #TechWeek HealthTech Meetup + Panel event. We had attendees from CVS Health, Google, Aledade, Inc., Oak Street Health, Maven Clinic, Redesign Health, Neura Health, Flare Capital Partners, Mount Sinai Health System, Weill Cornell Medicine, NYU Langone Health, and more.
