The Problem

Healthcare does not work
for rural families

Treatable diseases steal kids’ brains and kill their parents because medicine misses exposure risks like chemicals, heat and dust. Military families already get care that solves this. Their civilian peers in rural communities don’t.

People with exposure risks medicine misses

1.2 billion

More deaths from pollution than HIV, TB and malaria combined

Children pushed into child labor globally1

138 million

Community Care Guide (CCG)

“I’m the first person you’ll meet. I uncover your exposure risks, connect you to nurses and doctors in your community and stay until you recover.”

Community Nurse

“You probably know me already. If your Guide finds anything, she’ll send you to me so I begin your care and refer you if you need additional treatment.”

Medical Provider

“I’m your local doctor. Looking at what your Guide screened, I’ll treat conditions such as hypertension, kidney disease and chronic lung disease.”

Cee, your Guide’s assistant

“You’ll find me on WhatsApp where I help your CCG. I send you reminders and help keep your care moving.”

The joy of getting the right rural care.

Dr. Shadrack Frimpong Founder & CEO

“Healthcare didn’t work for us. So I built this.”

Growing up in a farming and mining community, Dr. Shadrack Frimpong watched his family die because their care overlooked exposure risks. Years later in the U.S., while volunteering in hospitals and the army, he saw military families get care built around the exposures in their lives. He founded beale horton to bring that same care to rural families.
