At RVO Health, we seek out health equity gaps and develop solutions that meet people where they are. Through Healthline's medically vetted content, Healthgrades' doctor finder, Optum Perks' low-cost online care platform, (and so much more!) we aim to ensure individuals from all backgrounds can access vital health information to help improve their well-being. Our Chief Medical Officer, Jenny Yu, MD FACS, spoke with LinkedIn Editor at Large, Beth Kutscher, during the first day at HLTH USA to discuss how tech might be widening health equity gaps faster than closing them.

We're deeply inspired by the incredible outpouring of support from our teams in the tragic wake of Hurricane Helene. Thank you to our RVOH colleagues and to our friends at Red Ventures for partnering with us on this week's donation drive! One of our core values is “no one’s an island,” and we’re grateful to see so many show up in that spirit, even in the most challenging times. Our thoughts are with all of our team members and the communities that were affected by this tragedy

National Parents' Day is this Sunday! At RVO Health, we're proud to support our employees in their parenting journeys through our Paid Bonding Leave policy. This policy ensures that parents can take the necessary time off work to welcome and care for their newborn or newly adopted child, without the added stress of financial concern. On Sunday, and every day, we celebrate all parents and their irreplaceable role in nurturing the next generation. Their dedication, love, and hard work inspire us daily. Want to see the real impact of our Paid Bonding Leave? Check out the gallery featuring heartwarming stories from RVO Health parents who've experienced this benefit firsthand.

Nearly 300 of our brightest minds scrambled and hacked their way through an electrifying three-day event at our Charlotte headquarters this week. 🚀 RVO Health’s 2024 Tech Summit brought together our engineering, security, IT, TPM and data teams from across the world and featured special guests like our CEO Jeff Hallock and VP of Generative AI at Databricks, Naveen Rao. Highlights that got our synapses firing: • An intense hackathon pushed teams to pave new roads by acting with conviction–while having a blast!  • 28 teams scrambled their way through a four-story egg drop challenge (with some cracking results!) • Teams led strategy sessions and learnings that sparked new ideas For many, it was the first face-to-face meeting since our 2022 launch. The energy was palpable as teams collaborated, innovated, and connected over food trucks and games. Curious about joining a team that's working on building a better way to health–and attending some pretty amazing events along the way? 👉 Swipe through the photos to catch the summit vibe 👉 Visit rvohealth.com/careers to explore exciting opportunities with us! #HealthTech #InnovationInAction #Innovation #JoinOurTeam

"Self-love is being more committed to your happiness and peace than your own suffering."That’s one of the many powerful ideas that guest speaker Nitika Chopra shared with RVO Health’s teams last week. (En)courage, our Employee Impact Group for team members with disabilities, hosted the webinar as part of our celebration of Disability Pride Month. The event, focused on thriving with a chronic illness, explored the complexities of living with invisible and visible illnesses, building a supportive community and moving forward with grace. Thank you Nitika for your candid presentation and to (En)courage leaders, Molly Unrath and Ryan McKenna for moderating! It's initiatives like this that reinforce RVO Health's commitment to fostering a culture of inclusion, understanding and empowerment.

Our summer intern cohort participated in mid-summer business reviews last week; presenting to a variety of teams, their mentors, cross-functional leaders, including CEO Jeff Hallock and Chief of Staff Stephanie Friedrich Landry. Interns shared how their projects support the work of their teams, brands and the larger RVOH purpose. Congratulations on hitting the mid-summer mark and thanks for all of your hard work thus far!

Last week, RVO Health had the privilege of hearing from Douglas Backstrom, senior copy editor at Healthline Media, for a thought-provoking session on why diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) initiatives must be championed by company leaders to truly take root. At RVO Health, we're committed to building a company that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve and empowering every employee to show up authentically. Thank you to Douglas for an insightful session!

Huge congratulations to our Chief Health Officer, Jenny Yu, MD FACS!
