Problem
Underserved communities often lack sufficient access to comprehensive healthcare services, leading to disparities in the treatment of opioid addiction, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and Hepatitis C.

The company offers evidence-based addiction care, including counseling, peer support, and case management, alongside STI and Hepatitis C services. By adopting a "whole person" approach, Fresh Start Health aims to improve patient engagement, reduce stigma, and enhance long-term health and wellness. Transportation assistance and telehealth options are available to improve access to care.
