Steadywell was born from a personal story—a journey through crisis and care decisions. When founder Josh Kermisch’s mother suffered a stroke, her care wishes were buried in a fragmented system that couldn’t meet her needs, leading to unwanted, intensive interventions. Josh founded Steadywell to give patients a clear, proactive voice and empower them to navigate serious illness with support and dignity. Today, as healthcare shifts toward value-based models, Steadywell partners with providers and ACOs to deliver scalable, comprehensive support to patients with serious illness.
