How Rise On Expanded Access to Care Through Technology and Community

Rise On set out to rethink how underserved communities access support, healthcare, and harm reduction services.

 

Howbridge partnered with leadership to help transform that vision into a scalable service model—aligning strategy, technology, branding, fundraising, and community engagement around a more accessible and human-centered approach to care.

How Howbridge Helped:

Howbridge worked alongside Rise On leadership to develop the organization’s strategic roadmap, build a multilingual telehealth platform, strengthen market positioning, and support fundraising and partnership development.

Together, we helped create a scalable platform designed to increase access to care while building stronger connections within historically underserved communities.

Key Growth Results:

Funding Secured funding beyond current fiscal year requirements.
Partners Expanded regional partnerships and community engagement.
Care Increased access to care within underserved populations through digital outreach and telehealth services.

The Challenge:
Build a scalable model for accessible care.

Rise On recognized that many underserved and marginalized communities faced significant barriers to receiving support, healthcare, and harm reduction services. Traditional systems often created fear, stigma, or lack of accessibility for the very populations they aimed to help.

The challenge was not only delivering services—it was building a modern, trusted, and scalable model capable of reaching people where they were while creating stronger long-term community engagement and operational sustainability.
