About Stellar Health:

Healthcare costs are one of the biggest problems in the United States today. At Stellar Health, we are building a platform that helps Healthcare Providers (doctors and support staff) improve the quality of care they provide while also reducing their costs. In the end, these improvements make patients healthier.

Stellar Health’s product is actively used by over 400 Medical Groups - and we have shown that we make a real difference for these practices and their patients.

It’s an exciting time to join the Stellar Team: we have an established product, proven operating model, and we are well funded.
