In this episode of Access Amplified, Ivelyse Andino shares how Radical Health is transforming care by blending tech with humanity. As the first Latina-owned public benefit corporation in New York, Radical Health isn't just designing apps, it's designing belonging.

Whether it’s shifting from a native app to a more accessible web-based experience, or paying community members to co-design solutions, her approach is reshaping what digital equity really means.
