The 137-Year-Old Care Company Building a Home for Every Stage of Ageing
Montefiore began with one communal home in 1889. Today it is trying to solve a more modern problem: how to let people change the level of support they receive without losing the routines, relationships and dignity that make life feel like their own.
Mayo Clinic Built a Medical Machine Around One Stubborn Rule
For more than 160 years, Mayo Clinic has organized medicine around the patient instead of the department. Now that old operating idea is becoming a global data, diagnostics and AI business - without abandoning the clinic at its center.
The Health Center That Put a Whole Community on the Care Team
On West Oʻahu, health care is not confined to an exam room. WCCHC built a community-owned system where emergency medicine, food access, job training and Native Hawaiian healing share the same address.
Noora Health
Noora Health is a nonprofit that treats families as an untapped part of the care team. By training patients' relatives with practical, condition-specific health skills while they wait in hospital wards - then reinforcing that training after discharge through WhatsApp, voice calls, and live chat - its Care Companion Program has reached tens of millions of caregivers across India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Nepal, cutting newborn readmissions and post-surgical cardiac complications.
La Clínica de La Raza
La Clínica de La Raza is one of the largest community-based primary health care providers in the San Francisco Bay Area. Founded in 1971 in Oakland's Fruitvale district by UC Berkeley students and community activists, it is a federally qualified health center (FQHC) delivering culturally appropriate medical, dental, behavioral health, vision, and pharmacy services to roughly 90,000 patients a year across more than 35 sites in Alameda, Contra Costa and Solano Counties - regardless of a patient's ability to pay.
LifeLong Medical Care
LifeLong Medical Care is a Berkeley-based nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center that has delivered medical, dental, and social services to underserved people of all ages across California's East Bay since 1976. Born from the Gray Panthers' Over 60 Health Center, it now runs a network of primary care clinics, dental centers, school-based health sites, urgent care, and supportive housing programs, serving more than 66,000 patients a year regardless of income or insurance status.
