Summary
All Home Care Matters is honored to welcome Alexandra Drane the CEO of ARCHANGELS as guest to the show.
Alexandra is co-founder and CEO of ARCHANGELS. She co-founded Eliza Corporation (acquired by HMS Holdings Corp: HMSY), Engage with Grace, and three other companies (all boot-strapped). A serial entrepreneur, she is also a cashier-on-leave for Walmart. She believes communities are the front line of health, that caregivers are our country’s greatest asset, and that we need to expand the definition of health to include life.
Alexandra sits on the RAND Social and Economic Policy Advisory Board, the Leadership Council for the Rosalynn Carter Institute, the Entrepreneurs Council for The United States of Care, and Harvard Medical School’s Executive Council of the Division of Sleep Medicine. She is a member of the Board of Directors of C-TAC and has served as a vice chair of the Trustee Advisory Board at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center from 2012-2020 and returned to the role in 2021. She also serves on the Board of Advisors for Open Notes. She served for 7 years as a Governor appointed member of the Executive Committee for the Board of Directors for MassTech, until March 2022.
Alex was named to the first ever Care100 list in 2020, a Top Women in Healthcare’s Entrepreneur of the Year by PR News, one of Disruptive Women in Health Care’s Women to Watch, one of Boston Globe’s Top 100 Women Leaders, and listed in Boston Business Journal’s “40 Under 40”, as well as an inventor on multiple patents. She joined Prudential Financial as a Wellness Expert for a film series called “The State of US” that was turned into a national ad campaign and generated close to two billion impressions. She has one hobby outside of her passion for revolutionizing health care, and her love of family and adventure…car racing.

| 0:44.1 | the CEO of Archangels. Welcome, Alexandra. I'm so happy to be here. Oh, we're happy to have you. |
| 0:51.1 | This has been a long time coming, and it's just a real privilege and honor to welcome you and to share your remarkable story and the work that you guys are doing at Archangels and everything else that you're involved with. I want to start, though, with people who may not be familiar yet with Archangels, if you would share a little bit about what Archangels is and what the mission is.

| 1:38.6 | takes to survive as a nation and certainly as a human and the vast majority of these beautiful souls who are doing |
| 1:46.3 | this work for no compensation and they're doing it because they care and often they have no |
| 1:51.9 | option and that's okay they're all right with that the vast majority of them don't know that they're in |
| 1:56.2 | this role and they have no idea how many resources exist to support them, many of them for free. |
