A caregiver to caregivers - Kermit Farmer has the heart and drive to make the healthcare industry better than it's ever been.
Kermit Farmer is the widower of one hell of a doctor. This led him to collectively advocate for doctors, patients and caregivers. Today, Kermit is a social innovator and the founder of Paths.
He created the company to leverage the power of human relationships through technology by helping patients to navigate the complexity of healthcare. Kermit draws upon an extensive background in logistics management through a NASA affiliate and Royal Caribbean International to make complicated processes simple to manage and understand.
Kermit strives to address complex social service systems by making it simple for individuals to access the resources the need in a timely manner, while documenting their engagement.
Kermit lives in Auburn, AL with his son, and dog. He's a mediocre t-ball coach and a less than mediocre soccer coach. Kermit believes in Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Great Pizza.
From patients feeling overwhelmed, lost and frustrated, to doctors feeling rushed to meet each appointment, something is wrong with the healthcare system. The only way forward is by putting patients first, meeting the needs that aren't being met.
Kermit Farmer has learned all of this firsthand, with his wife being both a doctor and a patient during her battle with cancer. His book, podcast, and company are all paths leading to the same goal: putting patients first in healthcare again.
