Vynca provides expert palliative care through a hybrid clinical model that combines in-person and virtual visits, ensuring convenience and accessibility. Palliative care is designed to relieve the symptoms and stress of serious illness and improve the quality of life for patients and their families. Studies demonstrate that high-quality, outpatient palliative care can reduce inappropriate hospital admissions for patients not in hospice care who are suffering from diseases such as metastatic cancer and late-stage heart failure. At least 13 million adults and nearly 700,000 children in the United States are currently living with a serious illness, and could benefit from palliative care. Vynca's unique technology-led approach allows the company to address the needs of patients in various settings nationwide.
