In today’s complex healthcare environment, employers face the dual challenge of controlling costs while ensuring their employees receive high-quality, personalized care. They are searching for solutions that deliver value, quality, and efficiency across all health journeys.
Last week, on our Meet a Vendor webinar series we had the pleasure to hear from Summus and how their end-to-end clinical navigation and specialty care platform simplifies the healthcare landscape and drives better, more cost-efficient health outcomes for employees and their families. Nick Razzi, Chief Revenue Officer at Summus, explained how their platform is transforming healthcare by providing doctor-led guidance and support for any health question, big or small.

At the heart of Summus’ approach is a doctor-led, clinical navigation and specialty care platform. Physicians— the most trusted voice in healthcare—are at the center of all medical decisions. By integrating clinical navigation with access to over 120+ specialties, they create a personalized, patient-first experience that guides employees through each step of their health journey.
Through personalized physician referrals, Summus aligns care recommendations with quality and cost metrics, ensuring the most appropriate, efficient care pathway.
