Working at Ursa Health

“In my previous role, I had worked with a wide range of national and regional health plans, risk groups, physician practices and health systems, accountable care organizations, and others. I saw all the data inefficiencies, yet also how rich the various data sets are. There’s total misalignment between the value of the data and the ability to put it into use—it’s chaos, really. I definitely saw the connection to what Ursa is doing and believe it’s solving an ever-present problem. Once I met the rest of the team, I was totally locked in.”

“I went from one of the largest ponds in the U.S. healthcare system to a relatively small one, and that had a lot of appeal. I have the opportunity to wear a lot of different hats and have a tangible impact on both the company and our clients’ work. I appreciate being involved in conversations that I would never have been pulled into at a larger company. I can give input into any area of the company, whether that’s marketing, product development, or something else.”

“I have freedom here. I can arrange my day the way it makes sense to me. And then I feel like the founders are very down to earth and don’t flaunt [their positions]. They listen to my comments, and as they always say, 'There’s no bad idea.' I’m being challenged every day. I’m always learning, and I really enjoy that.”

“I love it when an analyst or data architect learning to use Ursa says, ‘Do you know how much time this is going to save me?’ Having been in their shoes, I find it incredibly rewarding to give breathing room to individuals who are usually very engaged in the mission of their organization but have not had the space to work at the ‘top of their license.’ The new insights they come up with that are both actionable and highly impactful to their business are why I come to work every day.”
