You can order dinner or a ride from your phone and watch its path in real time. But getting a refill for a prescription can take a week and three phone calls, with no updates or visibility on what’s happening in the meantime.

Hi, we’re Hummingbird.
Elevating patient access. Creating good jobs.
Why is healthcare so different?
Consumers are accustomed to personalized and anticipatory services from hotels, retailers, and even their grocery store, but most healthcare systems – even the innovative ones – are several years behind. Why? It’s not a lack of technology – the industry’s poured more than $50b of venture money into digital health. To make that technology work for patients in complex healthcare systems, it needs to be optimized and integrated, processes need to be centralized and standardized, and the people who serve your patients need to be valued and empowered to provide compassionate care.
Hummingbird helps healthcare systems level up
As healthcare systems progress on the patient access maturity curve, providers can focus on caring for patients, and patients can access care how, where, and when they need it.

Our Team
Who we are
Our origins are rooted in the belief that health systems, health workers, and patients deserve to be unburdened. Healthcare organizations are often expected to be the masters of everything, but we know that can be overwhelming. That’s why we focus on doing the work of aligning and managing technology, people, and processes so that healthcare providers can focus on providing exceptional patient care.
We believe in the power of attracting top talent and nurturing a culture that enables people to do their best work. It’s this approach that has helped us achieve success and make a real difference in the healthcare industry.
