Samaritan
We provide your most vulnerable with the financial and social support they need to stay engaged in care — drastically improving health outcomes.
Between people who've been homeless, social workers, designers, developers, and experts in medicaid & emergency healthcare, we created Samaritan…a mobile-friendly community to support some of our community’s most vulnerable citizens.
Access Ventures learned about Samaritan through our Know Homelessness campaign in 2021 and quickly incorporated them as a call to action and funded a pilot program in Louisville, KY. That quickly grew and was inevitably supported by healthcare systems in the region. In 2024, Access Ventures invested into their Seed Round as well.
