Jon StojanPowered to Rise is a digital media company that provides comprehensive services for businesses, organizations, and personal brands seeking to build and cultivate their online presence. Organizations within the healthcare space are empowered by the ability to grow visibility and integrate efficient solutions amidst the developing world of technology. The website details: “We specialize in equipping leaders who represent historically marginalized communities with the education and tools needed to excel in the health policy design process and build an effective digital advocacy platform. This empowers them to grow their visibility and influence, which propels them toward executive leadership roles.”
Designed to foster a community where the healthcare industry often falls short, the platform aims to improve population health outcomes by offering strategy and implementation services for health, social, and technology solutions. Powered to Rise consults companies and organizations on how to meet the people they want to serve, where they are, with language and tone that respects who they are while supporting them through the journey of taking action to improve their overall outcomes. Particularly amongst people of color, the industry has battled with issues of mistreatment, prejudice, and subsequently, unequal medical experiences. Research conducted by Deloitte revealed there to be a historical lack of trust among individuals who identified as Black, Asian, Hispanic, and Native American. Powered to Rise recognizes this as a vital opportunity to build relationships that bridge the gap between those who design health programs and the multitude of people impacted by them.

CEO and Founder Rafat Fields outlines: “To affect real change within the US healthcare system, I had to build something that acted as a connector between the resources that enhance processes and the people this can empower. Technology is one of the most important tools to implement in any business but within healthcare specifically, it holds the potential to disrupt the foundations of the industry as we know it.”
Powered to Rise launches its community catalyst program as a way to synergize the expertise of individuals and businesses within the healthcare space – fostering an ecosystem of professionals, from administrators and caregivers to regulators and legislators. By empowering leaders who represent the communities they serve, the enterprise encourages a more inclusive and equitable environment for all. The program aims to be a catalyst for transformation, working to elevate leaders, create sustainable growth, and improve the well-being of the most neglected communities in this space.
At the core of Powered to Rise is an unwavering belief in the capabilities for enhanced healthcare provisions. Its mission to improve health outcomes and build strategic partnerships reflects some of the most pressing concerns within the industry today. As the platform holds promising potential in this space, it continues to garner recognition from investors and healthcare professionals, empowering change-makers across the board to leverage technology in a way that shifts system paradigms for the good of the most underserved communities across the United States.
