A Meaningful Mission:
At Tono Health, we are driven by a transformative mission: to radically expand access to top-tier specialty care, beginning with medical dermatology. We believe that everyone deserves the benefits of the latest medical innovations, and we are committed to making this a reality.
The Access Challenge:
Currently, over 135 million Americans encounter significant barriers in accessing the dermatological care they urgently need. With wait times for specialist consultations stretching up to six months, countless individuals are deprived of essential services. This gap in healthcare is more than a statistic; it's a daily challenge for millions.
Innovating for Accessibility and Quality:
Our solution is our innovative platform, designed to bridge these gaps in care. Tono Health empowers patients to receive expert treatments right from their homes. This approach not only eliminates lengthy waiting times but also removes the need for travel, bringing convenience and efficiency to the forefront of specialty care.
Expanding Access to Specialty Care:
Our journey began with dermatology, but our vision extends far beyond. We're proud to announce that Tono Health now includes endocrinology within our multi-specialty practice. With operations in 16 states and counting, we are on a path to broaden our reach, ensuring more patients across the country have access to the care they need.
