These are the words of the parents, caregivers, family members, and healthcare professionals who found Summara Health — and told us what it meant to them.
Summara Health gave our family something we desperately needed — clarity. During one of the most overwhelming seasons of our lives, it helped us understand what the doctors were saying, what came next, and how we could support him together. Instead of feeling lost and afraid, we finally felt informed, connected, and a little more hopeful.
Three different lives. One shared feeling — that healthcare finally starts to make sense.
Not sure how I came across Summara, but as a first-time mom learning your baby has a congenital heart defect, I know firsthand how difficult it is to take in the most important information of your life — while it sounds like a foreign language and you're trying not to smudge your tears on the notes you're taking. This tool will be so helpful for parents going through the hardest time of their lives. That's amazing.
I had so many scribbled notes to Google-decipher by the time I'd get home from the hospital or nursing home from seeing my dad — and then make dinner, get the kids organized for the next day, and finally sit down by 10 or 11 to study and translate everything they'd spewed at me, just so I could get some kind of accurate message back to the family. It was a daunting task. This is amazing! I'm currently my aunt's person while she's in a nursing home — I will definitely check this out.
Love this! I've been in the medical field for a lot of years, and so many people don't understand what they're being told. This is going to be a game changer!
If Summara helps you or someone you love make sense of a diagnosis, a medication, a lab result, or a difficult conversation — we'd love to hear about it.
