Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Pear Suite offers a care navigation platform built for community health workers, care navigators, promotores, doulas and similar community-based providers, whether they work independently or within community-based organizations or multi-organization hubs. The product bundles client and care management workflows, education and training, and access to a provider network, positioning itself as an operating system for community-based work rather than software alone.

Core modules include configurable workflows (custom assessments, care pathways, goals and follow-ups), client communication by phone, SMS and email, client- and population-level data analytics and reporting, and billing that generates and manages claims through an integrated clearinghouse with billing dashboards. Higher tiers add AI-powered notes transcription, automated quality improvement reviews, hub and network management tools, agentic outreach tools, and paid integrations with health information exchanges and electronic health record systems plus API access.

The company frames its work as addressing social drivers of health and building connections between community health work, health plans and health systems, with the aim of making community programs more financially sustainable and improving quality-of-life outcomes.
