The Coven has announced it will be providing primary healthcare access to its members through Roseville-based Nice Healthcare. Citing inaccessibility issues with the healthcare system, the co-working space focused on women, non-binary, and trans individuals is offering Nice’s services for $30 a month.
“We know how inaccessible our healthcare system is, and for many of our members primary care is inconvenient, expensive, and inequitable,” The Coven wrote in a LinkedIn post announcing the news. “The Coven is the first co-working space in the U.S. to offer healthcare for our members!”
Healthcare services including x-rays, labs, prescriptions, virtual physical and mental health consultations, and more. In an interview with Twin Cities Business, Alex West Steinman, Co-founder and partner of The Coven, said that while the offerings aren’t a substitute for a comprehensive health insurance plan (the services don’t cover more complicated medical situations such as surgeries and hospitalizations), they do representative a movement toward, “democratizing healthcare.”
Nice Healthcare completed a $5 million seed round in October 2020 and has expanded into several new markets since. CEO and Co-founder Thompson Aderinkomi was featured on The tech.mn Podcast (listen below!) and also participated in Fuckup Nights Twin Cities event (watch below!). Don’t miss either.
Alex oversees the content produced for BETA, Twin Cities Startup Week, and tech.mn. When he’s not writing or editing, there’s a good chance he’s enjoying a refreshing brew and explaining the merits of heavy metal (of which there are many).
