Crosswalk Health is focused on reshaping pulmonary care delivery. We empower primary care providers—especially those in rural and underserved communities—to better manage chronic conditions like COPD while reducing overall healthcare costs. COPD is the third leading cause of death in the U.S., a major driver of hospital admissions, and responsible for over $60 billion in annual costs. Our solution includes in-person pulmonary function testing, specialist-led peer-to-peer consultations, COPD-specific care services, and secure and scalable technology--Studies confirm that these interventions have positive outcomes: -50% reduction in 30-day acute care visits, -80% reduction in 30-day readmissions, -62% reduction in 90-day hospitalization costs. We are working toward a health care system that provides patients, their families, and the clinicians who care for them access to affordable, high quality, and data-driven guideline-based care solutions regardless of where they live.
