Pear Suite is proud to be named a 2026 Techquity Award Finalist by the HLTH Foundation, recognizing our work to advance health equity through technology designed for community-based care.

Across the country, unmet social determinants of health continue to drive disparities and fragmented care. Community Health Workers (CHWs) and community-based organizations (CBOs) are closest to these communities, yet they have historically lacked the infrastructure, technology, and reimbursement pathways needed to fully participate in the healthcare ecosystem.

By pairing an AI-powered care navigation platform with wraparound MSO support through the Pear Cares Provider Network, Pear Suite enables CHWs and CBOs to deliver high-quality, culturally responsive care at scale. Our approach removes long-standing barriers for providers and payers alike, such as streamlining workflows, simplifying compliance, and enabling reimbursement for community-based work that has traditionally gone uncompensated.

The result is stronger engagement, fewer unmet needs, and outcomes that exceed typical benchmarks for retention and satisfaction. Payers gain reliable, data-driven partners aligned with value-based care goals, while providers can focus on building trusted relationships instead of navigating administrative complexity. Most importantly, members receive whole-person care from organizations rooted in their communities.
This award affirms a core belief at the heart of Pear Suite’s work: health equity is achieved when community-based care is supported, sustainable, and valued.
