Our Story

instED was founded by a group of clinicians at a health plan seeking to solve a fundamental problem in healthcare that disproportionately impacted the people they served: emergency departments are overwhelmed, people struggle to access care, and there’s a massive gap between “call your doctor” and “go to the ED.” This gap is especially prominent for people with access challenges – those living with disabilities, chronic illness, behavioral health conditions, and social vulnerabilities, and our founders knew there had to be a better way. Not finding the right solution in the market, they built it themselves, and instED was born.

By bringing on-demand, medical care directly to patients’ homes, we improve access, reduce costs, and deliver better outcomes. Since our founding, we’ve served thousands of patients, kept 90% out of the emergency department on the day of their visit, and earned a 4.9-star rating from the people we serve.

Our vision is simple: transform how people access medical care by making personalized treatment available at home.

Mission & Values

Our Mission

We deliver reliable expert care on demand, addressing immediate needs while keeping long-term health in focus.

Our Values

Agility

The ability to move quickly and confidently in a fast‑changing care environment—adapting workflows, clinical approaches, and operational decisions to meet patient needs in real time. Agility means staying flexible, responsive, and ready to evolve as the model grows.

Integrity

A commitment to doing what’s right, always. Integrity shows up in transparent communication, ethical decision‑making, respect for patient autonomy, and unwavering clinical standards. It’s the backbone of trust in every interaction.

Reliability

Delivering care that patients and partners can count on—consistent, dependable, and clinically sound. Reliability means showing up when needed, following through, and ensuring every touchpoint meets a high bar for safety and quality.

Innovation

A drive to rethink what care can look like. Innovation means challenging outdated systems, embracing new technology, and designing solutions that make care more accessible, efficient, and human. It’s about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in care‑in‑place.

Compassion

Leading with empathy and understanding in every encounter. Compassion means recognizing the whole person, honoring their lived experience, and delivering care that feels supportive, respectful, and deeply human—no matter the setting.
