Safety Net Connect (SNC), a leading provider of advanced virtual care solutions, is honored to support the critical work of MAVEN Project, a 501c3 enabling specialists to connect with primary care providers working in traditionally marginalized communities. Utilizing SNC’s Converge solution to provide seamless asynchronous and synchronous communication capability, MAVEN Project connects their team of over 165 expert physician volunteers to safety net clinicians.
“This partnership leverages advanced telehealth technologies to connect volunteer specialists across the country with primary care physicians in underserved communities and the patients who need them,” explained Dr. David Shulkin, Ninth Secretary, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. “The use of innovative technology to provide specialty advice and enhance the knowledge of physicians caring for vulnerable populations is a prime example of the type of out-of-the-box thinking that is necessary to address the health equity gap in our country.”
MAVEN Project currently offers consultations across 62 specialty areas for more than 300 safety net clinics. The organization’s vast network of specialty physician volunteers trained and practiced at the highest quality medical institutions in the nation and draw upon years of practical experience and earned wisdom. MAVEN Project’s unique and holistic approach reduces patient barriers to care, including long wait times, travel, and costs that often accompany specialist referrals. Additionally, this comprehensive support increases provider confidence and minimizes provider burnout.
“MAVEN Project facilitates peer-to-peer connections between frontline providers and our volunteer physicians to address inequities in health care,” shared David Segal, CEO of MAVEN Project. “By leveraging the latest telehealth technologies from SNC, time-pressured clinic providers have easy-to-use access to our volunteer services so providers can focus on what matters most – delivering exceptional care to their patients, locally.”
