About Kandu Health

The transition from hospital to community settings is a critical time. Challenges for stroke survivors and care partners do not end when they leave the hospital. They require customized care and support.

Kandu Health, an Imperative Care business, provides stroke survivors with the guidance they need at home with a 90-day virtual recovery program.  We partner with hospitals to ensure patients have a safe transition home and a customized recovery plan. Together, we provide continuity of patient care to achieve better quality of life for stroke survivors and their care partners.

Patient Case Study

Serving Diverse Social Determinants of Health Populations with a Remote Stroke Recovery Program

Every patient’s stroke recovery journey is unique. At Kandu, we work with stroke survivors and their care partners to create a recovery roadmap, tailored to each patient's social determinants of health needs. In this case study, we compare the support Kandu provided to two different patients and the outcomes they achieved.

White Paper

Empowering Stroke Survivors

"It was really helpful to talk with my navigator about specific actions I needed to take during my recovery. I am so grateful that Kandu guided me through this life-changing event, introduced me to other stroke survivors, and helped me focus on what was important."

"Kandu allows us to continue to provide comprehensive care to patients after they leave our hospital. They are an important resource for patients when they need it most– during those first weeks and months after hospital discharge. Kandu's focus on the whole person ensure patients are set up for success."

"It was the support of the Kandu Stroke Community that impacted me the most throughout the program. Listening to other survivors and their incredible journeys and courage, and having a consistent connection and interaction with my Navigator, gave me the tools I needed to ensure ongoing progress in my recovery."

Stroke Survivor, Guardian Ad Litem, & Kandu Program Graduate

"The access to solutions is very limited. There are no roads where we're going. We are excited about providing more care to more patients as we move forward and effectively changing this era of stroke care to one that actually considers the patient as the constant in the entire continuum."

CEO and Chariman, Imperative Care

"The insurance will let the doctor talk to you for the measured ten minutes, but Kandu can pick it up and take it from there. You have that extension, and I think that's exceptionally important. What would we have done without Kandu? This program surpassed even what family could do."

“Kandu is almost a protégé for how important is for a program to partner with health care agencies such as medical centers or even health care clinics. We're creating a way to help the team, helping the patient learn more about resources, helping them to reduce length of stay when possible."
