“When I bought this complex, I wanted to create an oasis of conventional and unconventional health and wellness practitioners. We’ve been slowly finding the right practitioners for this community, but we felt like we could expand our vision to do more as we’re located near so many health insurance companies,” Rabinowitz said.
“Being a beacon and resource for health and wellness startups seemed like the next step for this community, and we look forward to welcoming new entrepreneurs to the program in the fall.” Video of the Well4Tech Bootcamp Demo Day can be found at:
