Founding story
Founder Marlon V.R. Ross was told by a physician while living in Texas that his blood pressure was elevated and that he was overweight by BMI standards, but received no guidance or dietitian referral on how to lose weight safely. That experience, together with the 2019 death of a family member due in part to complications from diabetes and Ross's upbringing in poverty on the South Side of Chicago, led him to found Wellacy Health to extend the capabilities of provider offices, improve care delivery and outcomes for patients with chronic diseases, and reduce racial disparities in access to quality care.
Business model
Wellacy Health sells a virtual care management platform, along with care team services and devices, to healthcare organizations that run reimbursable virtual care programs such as chronic care management, remote patient monitoring, behavioral health integration and annual wellness visits.
