On this episode of WellBuilt, Jon sits down with Ellen DaSilva, Founder and CEO of Summer Health, and former Head of Business Development at Hims & Hers, for a conversation about modern parenting, accessible healthcare, and building a company that helps parents raise the healthiest generation. Ellen shares how a late-night ER visit during the pandemic that revealed how broken pediatric access had become, inspired her idea for Summer Health. Her company now connects parents with board-certified pediatricians in 15 minutes or less, offering trustworthy, text-based care for everything from fevers to feeding questions. The conversation covers: 👶 Why pediatric care is the most overlooked category in healthcare. 📱 How tech and asynchronous care are reshaping how parents access reliable medical advice. 💬 The emotional side of healthcare: building trust, empathy, and human connection in a digital-first experience. 🌡️ The state of pediatrics today from the shortage of primary care doctors to the rise of concierge models. 📚 Ellen's take on parenting philosophies, screen time, and how raising her three kids has influenced the way she leads. ❤️ Lessons on balancing entrepreneurship, motherhood, and wellbeing, and what it really means to raise healthy kids in a hyperconnected world. From scaling telehealth at Hims to reimagining pediatric care at Summer Health, Ellen's story is a masterclass in turning personal pain points into purpose-driven innovation!
