Why Enterprise Bonuses Are Higher

Enterprise agreements generate 10-100x revenue vs individual signups. A single hospital or aged care facility partnership brings $50K-$500K ARR, hundreds of patients, and EHR integration stickiness.

Evidence-Based Model

The program is modeled on the CDC's Healthy Tribes Program - a decade-long initiative proving culture-first approaches work for chronic disease prevention.

Core Principles

Culture as Protective Factor: Culture builds resilience and holistic health
Community-Driven: Co-create strategies with local partners
Root Cause Focus: Address underlying SDOH factors
Cultural Humility: Deep respect for traditions and community practices

Proven Results

CHW-led interventions demonstrably improve cancer screening completion, chronic disease management, and health literacy in underserved populations. CareHub applies these principles globally.
