ZURICH – December 21, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Health Tech Without Borders, an independent, global non-profit movement providing digital health and telehealth aid where it’s needed most, has launched the “Helping Healers Heal” or 3H program, a peer-to-peer support and essential coaching program. 3H aims to provide a safe virtual environment to support Ukrainian psychologists mentally and emotionally and help them manage their distress and build their resilience as they provide counseling services to the Ukrainian population suffering from the stress and trauma of war. The program also provides multiple opportunities for clinicians and psychologists to discuss the challenges of conducting therapy in times of war, discuss their educational needs, and share best practices through peer-to-peer support.

The holiday season can be an especially difficult time for many as they experience stress, anxiety, loneliness, and financial strain, all of which may trigger mental health problems or exacerbate the existing ones. The people of Ukraine, however, are even more vulnerable and in need of mental health support due to the constant stress associated with living in a warzone. 

During this time of the year, mental health support in Ukraine becomes even more crucial than ever. According to the Ukrainian Ministry of Health (MoH), about 15 million Ukrainians are in need or will require psychological support. However, to be able to counsel individuals and provide psychological support, psychologists also need to look after their mental health to prevent their own burnout, continue helping those who need psychological support and guarantee ongoing treatment for their current and future patients. 

Recognizing this gap in professional support, Health Tech Without Borders’ 3H program provides a safe virtual environment where Ukrainian psychologists and counselors can receive the mental health support they need. Patients also benefit from the program because providers can better appreciate their patients’ perception of problems and responses to the impact of trauma-related experiences like the loss of a loved one or displacement. Further, providers can deliver better diagnoses and build their clients’ resilience and even hope in the setting of unimaginable human tragedy and loss.

To support this program and the work of Health Tech Without Borders, please consider donating to the “Help, Hope and Healthcare for Ukraine” campaign.

The health system joins the company’s list of strategic investors, underscoring the value of a consumer-first healthcare experience.

NEW YORK & HOUSTON – December 19, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Cedar, an enterprise healthcare engagement platform that improves the end-to-end consumer financial journey, today announced that Memorial Hermann Health System, a nonprofit, award-winning health system committed to creating healthier Houston communities, has joined the company’s growing list of strategic investors.

“Without a connected, consumer-first approach, medical billing often leads to confusion and frustration for patients at best, and an inability to pay medical debt at worst,” said Florian Otto, CEO and Co-founder of Cedar. “Our goal is to provide a patient experience that is convenient and clear, leading to significantly better outcomes for providers, payers and the people we all serve. We are pleased to welcome Memorial Hermann as an investor in this important work.”

Cedar is on a mission to empower individuals to easily and affordably pursue the care they need, transforming the patient financial experience through a unique end-to-end solution. The Cedar Suite delivers a consistent and unified experience across the patient journey, from appointment confirmation and price estimates pre-service to final payment post-service. And with the launch of the Payer Intelligence Layer in November, Cedar’s platform consolidates payer and provider data into a single source of information for consumers managing medical bills.

“Our organization’s goals very much align with Cedar’s in that we also aim to make healthcare more affordable and accessible while providing a highly personalized and compassionate patient experience. That’s one of the many reasons we made the strategic decision to invest in Cedar,” said Alec King, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for Memorial Hermann. 

“We recognize that the healthcare industry has much room for improvement in the areas of consumer-friendly digital platforms, access and affordability. As part of our strategic investment efforts, we want to support the work of innovative companies who are accomplishing these key objectives,” said Feby Abraham, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer for Memorial Hermann.
