The Clinic Director program & network overview

One clinic, six service lines, six programs, and three legal entities — built to reach the patients the system discharges into instability. This is what you'd run, who you'd build it with, and where it's going.

Why RootBound exists

The founder experienced homelessness without a safety net or continuity of care. The same pattern kept repeating: patients discharged into instability, care plans that didn't match real life, and harm that happened outside any institution's responsibility.

RootBound exists to interrupt that pattern — complementary to the safety net, not duplicative — extending screening, treatment, and follow-through into the hours and ZIP codes existing clinics can't reach at scale. Every program here is one expression of that single idea.

The role

What the Clinic Director owns

01

Run the programs

Operational ownership of all six programs on a shared clinical backbone — from the Glow revenue engine to the 30-day post-discharge pathway.

02

Build the network

Forge and steward relationships with hospitals, Public Health–Seattle & King County, FQHCs, Critical Access Hospitals, and state agencies.

03

Guard the structure

Keep the three legal entities and their regulatory root barriers clean — DPC statute, insurance licensure, and Anti-Kickback / Stark hygiene.

04

Drive the funding

Carry the grant pipeline — HRSA, USDA, and CMS Rural Health Transformation — that underwrites the mission-driven and rural lines.
