Rendr Patient Story Featured in New York Magazine

A Rendr patient’s story was recently featured in New York Magazine, highlighting the challenges he faced in accessing consistent care as a new Chinese immigrant with a chronic condition before finding a Rendr primary care physician who accepts his insurance and speaks his language. His experience reflects our commitment to making high-quality, culturally appropriate care accessible to the Asian community in New York City.
The following is the quote form Shulin Zhang, a Rendr patient:
"Others are working to create tech-based solutions that help patients obtain care. Shulin Zhang, who is 86, told me through a translator that he went without a PCP for three years as a diabetic octogenarian after moving here from China in 2019, having found that few doctors took his insurance, fewer spoke his language, and many weren’t accepting new patients. His stopgap solution was to fly to Beijing to once a year to see his doctor son-in-law, who prescribed him enough medication to last until he made the trip again. He finally found a PCP through Rendr, a non-DPC health-care network designed to help Chinese New York City residents connect with the doctors they need."
