NEEDS MET, lives Changed
At GroundGame.Health, we help people overcome the barriers that prevent them from leading healthier lives.
How we work
GroundGame.Health has developed a business model that brings diverse stakeholders, processes, terminologies, technologies, and payment structures together, to connect people to the community-based organizations and resources they need on the ground, to overcome the barriers that are preventing them leading healthier lives.
Whether a person needs transportation, food, housing, help applying for benefits, or another needs, we have the boots on the ground to support them.
Through human-to-human connections, we build trust through compassion and empathy with each person we engage. That trust enables us to uncover and solve the most important obstacle each person is facing.

The Implify platform creates a secure, cohort-based structure to assess and capture health-related social needs, documents gaps that are closed, as well as the resources that were ultimately provided.
6: Financial
The Implify platform enables both upstream and downstream billing and payments, through invoices and/or claims.
Social needs resolution
Our success lies in a comprehensive solution that identifies and tackles barriers, pays for them, and documents every step in our platform — Implify™. Implify is HITRUST certified and seamlessly integrates with other healthcare technology systems, ensuring a smooth and transparent process from assessment to care planning, outcome reporting, and closing social and care gaps.
GroundGame.Health has developed a national network of community-based organizations (CBOs), enabling us to solve complex social needs at a hyperlocal level. Our unique model positively impacts the communities served because we have flowed more than $36M downstream to the CBOs, advancing their missions.
