Pear Suite’s History

Pear Suite started in 2021 to solve common challenges faced by community-based nonprofits and social services agencies, and healthcare organizations: disconnected systems, inconsistent funding, and difficult collaboration among local organizations and systems.

We started by providing community health worker support to Maui residents to access health and social services following the Lahaina fire in Maui. Since then, we’ve expanded our CHW network and now manage a hub of hundreds of CHWs nationwide.

Pear Suite has partnered with more than 100 community-based organizations, serving more than 50,000 community members, through its care navigation platform.
