Our Mission

MAVEN Project addresses inequities in health care by connecting providers at safety net clinics with expert physician volunteers for medical advice, mentorship, and education, giving clinic patients rapid access to high-quality specialty care.

Overview

While many patients living in communities with constrained healthcare resources have access to primary care services, factors such as transportation, scheduling conflicts, cost, and the complexity of the healthcare system can make it difficult to obtain specialty care. Additionally, physician shortages—especially in rural areas—can lead to long wait times and limited availability of specialized medical expertise, which may impact health outcomes and satisfaction for both patients and providers.

MAVEN Project is on a mission to change that.

Our partners are primary care providers at safety net clinics. Our agents of change are expert physician volunteers who average decades of clinical experience, and are invested in our mission, and eager to share their wisdom.

Using telehealth technology, we facilitate peer-to-peer connections between providers and volunteers to create a medical brain trust. To empower providers to deliver exceptional care, we combine timely medical consults with continuing medical education and 1:1 mentoring. This comprehensive support helps relieve provider burnout and improve outcomes for patients.
