The most critical component of this team is the role they play in continually delivering feedback directly from our members to enhance their experience. Our product improves every day thanks to this team."
The team also was praised for its focus on centralizing operations to better understand the customer's lifecycle. Stride Health's member support team continually empowers consumers with self-serve support, creating ongoing education resources such as an extensive, smart FAQ.
