26: Meet the New Heart of Concierge Medicine with CourMed

Accessibility is one of the biggest challenges in healthcare, and it has become even more apparent during the pandemic. Seeing this gap in the market, Derrick L. Miles decided to start a company called CourMed®, with a mission to make healthcare more accessible to people. CourMed® started out as a courier service for healthcare products, but after securing a partnership with Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, CourMed® is now able to offer other healthcare services to more people. In this episode of Innovation Storytellers, we’re going to look at Derrick’s journey into founding CourMed®, and what motivates him to continually innovate in the healthcare space. We also delve into the importance of partnering with the right businesses, and how CourMed® has helped people, communities, and businesses during the pandemic.

Did you ever wonder how an innovation got to its finish line? How innovators saw the future, made a product, and created change – in our world and in their companies? I did. Innovation Storytellers invites changemakers to describe how they created their innovation and just as important – THE STORIES – that made us fall in love with them. Come learn how great innovations need great stories to make them move around the world and how to become a better storyteller in the process. I’m Susan Lindner, the Innovation Storyteller. But I wasn’t always. I’ve been a wannabe revolutionary, an epidemiologist at the CDC and an AIDS educator in the brothels of Thailand helping to turn former sex workers into entrepreneurs. Trained as an anthropologist and the Founder of Emerging Media, I’ve spent the last twenty years working with innovators from 60+ countries. Ranging from cutting edge startups to Fortune 100 companies like GE, Corning, Citi, Olayan, and nine foreign governments, helping their leaders to tell their stories and teaching them how to become incredible advocates for their innovations. Great innovation stories make change possible. They let us step into a future we can’t see yet. I started this podcast to shine a light on our generation of great innovators, to learn how they brought their innovation to life and the stories they told to bring them to the world.
