Trusted Patient Advocacy Experts

Jeremy Gurewitz – CEO & Co-founder, Solace Health Jeremy Gurewitz is the CEO and Co-founder of Solace Health, a company dedicated to helping patients navigate the complex healthcare system with greater clarity and support. Jeremy’s mission at Solace Health is deeply personal. In 2016, his mother—an accomplished radiologist—was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Despite her medical expertise, she found herself overwhelmed by the complexity of her diagnosis and the multitude of decisions that followed, from exploring clinical trials to seeking second opinions and weighing treatment options. Witnessing firsthand how even highly knowledgeable individuals can struggle to navigate the healthcare system, Jeremy became passionate about solving a critical problem: healthcare in the United States has grown as complex as the legal system, leaving most people—patients and even doctors—without the tools or guidance to manage significant health challenges on their own. Under Jeremy’s leadership, Solace Health strives to bring clarity, advocacy, and personalized support to patients and families navigating life-altering medical journeys, ensuring that no one has to face it alone.
