Hi everyone!

We want to take a moment to thank you for accompanying us on this journey as we take on the momentous task of revolutionizing healthcare.

2018 has been an incredible year so far, already exceeding our expectations for the calendar year, and we’re only half-way into it. As many of you know from your interactions with the company, the scope of our mission is both larger and clearer than we thought possible. To put it simply we are genuinely improving the way America receives healthcare.

The scope of delivering on that promise is massive, the bar is set high, and we are raising it at every opportunity. Our mission is bigger, our voices are louder, and we need a brand name that captures the passion that makes us a true pioneer in virtual care.

It’s time for a whole new approach to healthcare delivery and as of June 1st, we are officially leading that charge as Carie Health. The star of the show is named Carie and she is going to help us all access the convenient modern healthcare solutions we knew we deserved a long time ago.

Our new name reflects our bigger mission to deliver a wide set of innovative solutions that our doctors and medical professionals need in order to succeed in the modern digital world. The way Alexa did for home automation, or Siri did for smartphone features. Carie is your easy, friendly partner in health. Everywhere Carie goes she is elevating the Doctor-Patient relationship with a suite of simple, free installations allowing your own trusted doctor to become the virtually enabled provider of the future.

While EpicMD started off an innovative Telehealth tool, Carie encompasses what has grown into a full-blown national movement connecting patients with their own preferred doctor. If a patient doesn’t already have a doctor, Carie lets them select the right provider from a national network of providers ready to deliver convenient care either face to face in-office, or from the convenience of the palm of your hand!

Join us today to meet Carie as we begin preparations for her full formal arrival this fall in celebration of the healthcare revolution we each demand and deserve.

Miami, FL — November 15, 2017 — Carie, www.carie.com, a trusted leader in cloud-based telehealth and telemedicine technology platforms, today announced the appointment of Jack Karabees as Carie’s President and Vice President of Sales. Karabees has spent over 25 years successfully establishing and executing high-growth sales and marketing plans for enterprise healthcare, payer and hospital-related software technology companies. “We feel that Karabees brings an unusual blend of technology and healthcare leadership experience to the company,” said Matt Wanderer, company CEO. “His experience at this stage of company growth is also a fantastic fit,” he continued.

Prior to joining Epic Health, Mr. Karabees served as Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Entic, www.entic.com, a cloud-based platform designed to analyze and optimize energy consumption in hospitals and large healthcare facilities, where he grew sales and established their Series-A funding led by ClearSky and Blackstone. Perhaps most complimentary to his new role, though, is Jack’s former role as President and CEO of Consult A Doctor, www.consultadoctor.com, a cloud-based technology and services provider to healthcare providers and payers and telemedicine services to employers and payers, from start-up through Series A fundraising and their successful acquisition by Kleiner Perkins-backed Teladoc (TDOC).

Preceding that time, Jack was Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at eLabor, a Cloud-based Time & Attendance, Nurse Scheduling and Project Management application provider to the hospital and large provider marketplace from early-stage through Series A and B financings and to separate divisional company acquisitions by Microsoft (MSFT) and ADP (ADP). Karabees served honorably in the United States Air Force and is a Co-Founder and Director of the Miami Innovation Fund.

About Carie: Carie provides a Telehealth technology software platform for independent physicians and providers to provide personalized telemedicine to their patients. Epic offers a free, HIPPA compliant cloud-based technology solution which generates additional revenue for any physician’s, specialist’s or provider’s practice while boosting patient satisfaction and convenience. Carie’s platform immediately eliminates the bulk of uncompensated after-hours calls, prescription refill requests, provision of lab results, etc., while providing on-demand after-hours primary care consultations when requested.

If the average American is lucky enough to have a good insurance plan today; they still wait an average 29 days to see their primary care provider. They take an average 4 hours off from work to drive across town. They wait in the doctor’s office for 48 minutes to access a typical 6 minute visit with the available provider. The experience is expensive time-consuming, and if you ask Matt Wanderer, Founder and CEO of Carie, it’s about to be a thing of the past for most healthcare encounters.

Wanderer’s solution to the American healthcare crisis began in 2010 as the culmination of his NYU-London School of Economics, Graduate School of Business thesis, written 9000 miles away, during a study abroad module in Southern India. Faced with the challenges of providing affordable care for well over a billion people, India had few options but to embrace modern telehealth “at scale” well before the West.

A nationally recognized entrepreneur who has been listed four consecutive years in the top ranks of the INC 500 list of fastest growing private companies in America, Matt Wanderer is betting that America’s mobile health boom will eclipse already sky high market predictions. “With Carie The first thing we did was discard everything we knew to be outdated in the American healthcare consumer experience… from that point we had a pretty blank canvas”. While dozens of companies scramble to crack the $100 Billion mobile health utilization code, none have managed to fundamentally enhance the most critical aspect of basic health care; the doctor-patient relationship. While it is clearly less expensive to farm patient calls out to anonymous physician call centers, as do traditional telehealth companies, it does little to help the patient long-term and it cuts the primary care provider out of the loop completely. The Carie model is the exact opposite, we help real doctors elevate their relationships with their patients with convenient personalized mobile access.

To insure the company never forgets its pledge to improve the physician-patient experience, its founders carved out a meaningful block of preferred equity exclusively for the accredited physician investors who are actively implementing the solution in their practices. In turn each of those partners is contributing back daily with live, real-time feedback around the design and functionality of the solution as it pertains to their own medical specialty. “For us it’s way more than a marketing slogan that Carie is, By doctors, For Doctors,” said Wanderer.

Growing inside the University of Miami Health and Technology park and in collaboration with a who’s-who of industry pioneers, Carie has in two short years, begun to prove how, with a doggedly simple SAAS technology infrastructure, and a first-class UI/UX, healthcare can be delivered quickly and easily without most of the waste. Carie was invited to officially launch in March, 2017 at SXSW in Austin, Texas. Now operating with a hint of stealth, the company’s Innovation Advisory Board is carefully unveiling an array of industry first benefits to the provider and the patient alike.
