EATONTOWN, N.J.,Dec. 9, 2021/PRNewswire/ —Caregility, a company dedicated to connecting care for patients everywhere, has been named to Inc.’s 2021 Best in Business list in the Health Services category. The Inc. Best in Business Awards honor companies that have gone above and beyond to make a positive impact in their industry.
The list, which can be found in the Winter issue of Inc. Magazine (on newsstands December 14), recognizes small- and medium-size privately held American businesses that have had an outstanding influence on their communities, their industries, the environment, or society as a whole.
Caregility was recognized for its efforts to help clinicians provide excellent care while keeping staff, visitors, and patients safe throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Those efforts include the introduction of a free app to keep isolated hospital patients connected with family and loved ones, new interpreter service integrations to support health equity in virtual patient engagement, and the launch of a frontline healthcare worker recognition program and annual healthcare scholarship fund.
Scott Omelianuk, Editor-in-Chief of Inc., noted, “What began for us during the pandemic as an effort to showcase companies that were helping the community has grown into a recognition of social, environmental, and economic impact. The companies on this year’s list are changemakers with heart – and they’re pouring the best of their business into the people and communities around them.”
“The past 18 months have brought unprecedented safety and staffing challenges to hospital care teams across the nation. Caregility is honored to play a role in supporting the virtual care needs of patients and healthcare providers,” responded Ron Gaboury, CEO of Caregility. “We are grateful to Inc. for this recognition and our healthcare customers for their partnership and continued efforts.”
Rather than relying on quantitative criteria tied to sales or funding, Inc.’s editors reviewed the companies’ achievements over the past year and noted the extent to which they made a positive difference. They then selected honorees in more than 49 different industries – from finance to software to engineering to fashion, and more – and in age-based and revenue-based categories. The applicant pool was extremely competitive, with around 2,700 entries.

New App, TeleHome, Connects Hospitalized COVID Patients With Loved Ones
Caregility and COVID Tech Connect developed the free, user-friendly, HIPAA-compliant video conferencing solution to support patient access to virtual hospital visits and other COVID-related calls
Eatontown, N.J. – May 20, 2021 – With a mission of connecting isolated COVID-19 patients to their loved ones, Caregility and COVID Tech Connect announce the launch of TeleHome, a free, HIPAA-compliant, video conferencing app. The new app makes it easy for healthcare professionals and caregivers to assist patients in setting up virtual visitations with family and friends. The app is now available free for download in the Google Play and Apple stores. To use the app, healthcare professionals can request free user accounts through the TeleHome website.
Since its inception in March 2020, COVID Tech Connect has donated 15,000 smart devices to hospitals and care facilities in all 52 states and territories across the nation. These efforts were made possible, in part, from more than $4 million in charitable donations — including a grant from Google.org, and financial donations from an anonymous donor and thousands of individuals via the project’s GoFundMe campaign — to further the mission of connecting patients with loved ones, on any device, anywhere.
“TeleHome was born out of a need for caregivers to virtually connect patients with their families, without compromising hospital security measures,” said Anjali Kumar, co-founder of COVID Tech Connect. “After speaking with over 1,000 hospitals who received device donations from us, it quickly became clear that healthcare professionals needed a user-friendly, HIPAA-compliant video conferencing solution. We sought the expertise of Caregility to design a software solution that would complement our hardware donations to further serve our mission of connecting COVID-19 patients in isolation to loved ones safely and securely.”
Unlike other video conferencing services, TeleHome can connect isolated patients with loved ones on any device. Developed in partnership with industry telehealth veteran Caregility, the new HIPAA-compliant app ensures that patient privacy is protected and that no patient data is stored on the device. Video calls made through TeleHome are hosted on a Web browser, making it easy for family and friends to join without having to download an app or log in. Caregility donated engineering resources and technical infrastructure to make TeleHome possible.
Benefits of TeleHome include:
Easy connection: TeleHome offers patients a simple, intuitive way to launch a private video call with any family member or friend.
HIPAA-compliant: Unlike other video conferencing solutions, TeleHome never stores patient information between calls, wiping the device clean after each session.
No download necessary for call recipients: Through the app, patients send a one-time text message link to friends or family members, inviting them to a video call that is hosted on a Web browser.
Conference calling: Patients can add an unlimited number of family members and friends to their video call.
“We wholeheartedly support the mission of COVID Tech Connect to help COVID-19 patients meet virtually with their loved ones during quarantine,” said Pete McLain, chief strategy officer at Caregility. “We are humbled and honored to do our part in launching the TeleHome app and making it available for free.”
“With visitations shut down, it has been very hard on our patients and their families, as well as on our staff,” said Marianna Harris, CEO of Osborne County Memorial Hospital. “The devices we received from COVID Tech Connect will enable us to provide a deeply needed connection for our patients and their loved ones, giving us all a sense of normalcy during these trying times. Now with the new TeleHome app, our staff can easily support this connection in a safe and secure way, anytime and anywhere, for years to come.”

The Caregility Cares program—which started last year as a simple way to recognize healthcare heroes by placing their name on race cars has now grown to provide financial support for aspiring healthcare workers.
In February 2021, Caregility launched the Caregility Cares Essential Workers Scholarship. The program was designed to grant five aspiring healthcare workers with a $5,000 scholarship to aid in their pursuit of higher education degrees in the field of medicine. The program targets high school seniors, undergraduate and graduate students who are either healthcare workers or dependents of healthcare workers. With applications steadily rolling in ahead of the May 31st deadline, Caregility realized the demand for assistance greatly exceeded their funds. Looking for a way to raise more funds to grant a sixth scholarship, Caregility turned to its NASCAR program with Chip Ganassi Racing.
“As we continue to face the Covid-19 pandemic, the entire world can agree on the importance of our healthcare professionals,” said Ron Gaboury, CEO of Caregility. “These individuals bravely work on the front lines to keep their communities safe, while potentially putting themselves at risk. It takes a special individual to devote their life to helping others through a career in nursing or any of the medical fields. At Caregility, we have the distinct honor to work with these individuals every day, and we can’t do enough to repay them for their service. With the Caregility Cares Essential Workers Scholarship, we look to make an impact on these individuals by relieving some of the burden and financial stress of working toward a degree.”
Caregility will serve as the co-primary sponsor of the No. 42 Chevrolet with their sister company, Yorktel, during this weekend’s race at Talladega Superspeedway.
Race fans who would like to support the sixth scholarship for an aspiring healthcare worker can watch Caregility’s social channels for additional ways to support the fund, including participating in an online auction in early May. Additional details will be available at Facebook.com/CaregilityCares and at Twitter.com/Caregility.
Applications remain open for the initial round of Caregility Cares Essential Worker Scholarships. Applications are due by May 31, 2021. Current healthcare workers and their dependents who are interested in the program can learn more and apply here. Scholarship recipients will be announced in June 2021.
