Dr. Beth Kaplan
Dr. Beth Kaplan is an Emergency Medicine physician who has worked in a public hospital and trauma center for over two decades, treating the most vulnerable and underserved patients at critical times in their lives. She has brought domestic violence intervention and educational programs to hospitals, both nationally and internationally, and has worked with the CDC to initiate rapid HIV testing and linkage to care in the Emergency Department setting. Dr. Kaplan has also served as a Clinical Professor of Emergency Medicine at UCSF School of Medicine, in both a teaching and research role.

She was inspired to work in a revolutionary system that brings high-quality healthcare to those who face access and affordability barriers while providing ongoing support online.
