The U.S. Healthcare industry is humungous! Healthcare spending in the country accounts for 18.3% of the U.S. GDP in 2021, or $4.3 trillion. That’s $12,914 per person per year! But, healthcare spending and healthcare professionals are not evenly distributed, and some areas in the country are healthcare deserts.

Today we have an immigrant entrepreneur, Ahmed “Eddie” Qureshi who is tackling this problem head-on. He is the founder and CEO of Valorant Health. Valorant Health is the AI-enabled health platform that connects 67 million individuals in the underserved communities to healthcare providers and services.

Their partnerships include those with the U.S. Air Force to expand access to personalized mental health services to Air Force personnel, and with the Catawba community through the Indian Health Services to modernize and digitize their mental health access.

We kick off with his journey to the U.S., including moving with his family and siblings to nine different cities (!), to his family’s background in healthcare and entrepreneurship, and finally how he’s addressing healthcare accessibility through Valorant Health.
