We know what it's like

PATHS emerged from a personal journey of love, loss, and resilience.

Founder Kermit Farmer established PATHS after caring for his late wife, Dr. Linda Farmer, an oncologist dedicated to compassionately treating thousands of patients.

When Linda was diagnosed with stomach cancer, Kermit and Linda encountered the shortcomings of the healthcare system firsthand.

Our Vision

PATHS aims to transform healthcare by providing a smarter, compassionate, and connected healthcare experience, bridging communication gaps, empowering clinicians, and simplifying processes for seamless patient care.

Our Mission

At PATHS, we empower physicians to deliver exceptional care efficiently and compassionately.

Our platform simplifies healthcare by providing clear care pathways for clinicians and patients, keeping patients informed and confident while building trust. We are committed to transforming healthcare with our patient-centered approach and innovative solutions, making the experience seamless and empowering for both providers and patients.

Paths’ origin story

Kermit created PATHS to ensure no patient or caregiver faces healthcare challenges alone, providing support with compassion and dignity.

2022 - February: Funeral of Dr. Linda Farmer

Kermit and Spencer lay to rest one hell of a wife, mom, and oncologist. We made a promise to her from the pulpit to help doctors to become better educators with their patients as this was her passion. This is our origin story.

2023 - June: A New Product is Built

Kermit called Ryan Troll, Founding Partner of Theory Design, and said “Put people in my life that can build this product in my head.” Ryan did it. We built the product and garnered all credentials needed to work with patients and doctor offices.

2024 - February: Product Launch Event

At the two year mark of Linda’s passing, we had a coming-to-market launch event. We shared stories of our early adopters and testimonials of users on the platform. We grew our tiny tribe to include marketing and sales.

2025 - February: Seeking Funding
from Potential Investors

With our go-to-market partners and current sales, we will seek outside capital to move the mission forward at the three-year mark. Our areas of focus for the coming 18 months are: Cancer Navigation, Elderly Care, and Opioid Reduction.

Here's to forging new paths together.

Get Started

Guiding care with insight.

You went to school to become a doctor to care for people, not just patients. You studied hard, kept ridiculous hours, and went deep into debt because you knew the end result would be worth it. You'd get to be a hero, to save lives, to make a difference in a world. PATHS is here for you, to fulfill your dream, not to do more paperwork.
