DES MOINES, Iowa, Oct. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Navigate Wellbeing Solutions (Navigate), a Des Moines well-tech company, and findhelp, a public benefit corporation, announce today an innovative partnership to enhance access to social services for 1.7 million Navigate users and address health disparities—all at zero cost.

"At findhelp, we believe that every person's dignity matters, that community organizations are the social care experts, and that the right technology creates connections where none existed before. The social care safety net is complicated and difficult to understand, and we're proud to partner with organizations like Navigate to help make the process a little easier for their 1.7 million users," said Rachel Lauderdale, VP of Customer Success at findhelp.

Starting today, Navigate clients have the option to include a findhelp search on their employees' wellbeing platform. This fully integrated solution provides users the ability to enter their ZIP Code and receive personalized results for essential social services in their area—all through findhelp's social care network, findhelp.org.

This new addition to the Navigate platform seamlessly connects all 1.7 million Navigate users to findhelp's network of over 608,400 program locations for services like food, housing, care, and transit assistance. These locations offer valuable, local resources that are accessible from day one.

Like Navigate, findhelp is on a mission to Do Good Things. That's why, as a core part of their mission, there is no cost for people in need to use the findhelp network to self-navigate, and they never sell user data.

"Navigate is committed to addressing social determinants of health, and their impact, through our daily work with employers and the communities they serve," said Troy Vincent, Founder and CEO of Navigate. "The health of our employees is largely impacted by non-medical factors. If we want to keep our people truly healthy and happy, we must ensure everyone has access to critical health and social services when they need it most. Navigate is in a unique position to help deliver integrated and equitable support for vulnerable employees. We are grateful for this wonderful partnership that advances our two organizations' shared goal of improving access for over 1.7 million members."
