No One Alone: Humanizing Healthcare as an Outsider

Entrepreneurs are born to disrupt—but disrupting established industries like healthcare is no small feat. Drawing from her twenty-plus years of experience as a founder and business leader, Kara Trott reveals her secret sauce to succeeding in a field that’s notoriously resistant to innovation. A former lawyer turned accidental entrepreneur, Kara founded Quantum Health in 1999, spearheading healthcare navigation—and a new industry in the process. For over 25 years, Quantum Health has been supporting patients in navigating the complexities of the U.S. healthcare system, while helping to cut costs and improve patient outcomes.

At the core of the company’s success is a strong commitment to humanizing healthcare. Despite growing from less than ten employees to upwards of 2,500, Quantum Health has retained its human-first approach, with its Warriors on the front lines liaising with patients every day. In this book, you’ll hear from Quantum Health’s clients, investment partners, and employees, who reveal how the company has managed to stay true to its roots despite its substantial growth.

Even as Quantum Health has grown to a value of upwards of a billion, it has stuck to the Midwestern values espoused by Kara. With clarity and candor, Kara details the pitfalls she faced on her journey and how she overcame them, sharing trials that will ring true with any entrepreneur—or simply anyone who has ever taken on their own Goliath.
