Your Health, Our Mission – The year 2013 ushered in a new era highlighting the public’s interest around healthcare and personal control of healthcare choices. Arguably, healthcare delivery, financing and education has been the most emotionally charged issue over the past year with the passage, and now the implementation of the Affordable Care Act creating a demand for primary care services that far outpaces supply. StepOne Personal Health’s mission is to deliver a better experience for consumers while easing the burden on an already taxed healthcare system. Our innovative model includes a single electronic destination for consumers trying to understand and make a positive impact on their health. By using state of the art technology to deliver a more satisfying and proactive experience, while engaging individuals in the active participation of their health needs, our destination connects individuals to health products, services and experts with easy and convenient tools highly desired by the new generation of health consumers. The tech-savvy health consumer is continuously increasing their interest and engagement in improving health and optimizing their health, especially if dealing with chronic disease or trying to prevent it. There is also an increasing shift toward complementary, integrative and holistic approaches to health – as well as the historically traditional approaches to healthcare. Under our innovated model, and with our powerful social messaging, our virtual health destination promotes traditional, functional and preventive medicine offerings in a HIPAA compliant, consumer centric, and easy-to-use environment. The increasing need for technology and efficiency in the traditional system, along with consumer demand for access and service, creates the optimal environment for rapid growth of StepOne Personal Health’s platform and destination featuring our products, services and professional resources.
