Why choose PatientPartner over Snow Companies?

Choose PatientPartner when one-to-one peer mentorship is central to your patient engagement strategy. We bring mentor connection, program oversight and engagement insights together in one platform, so your team can support the relationship and understand the engagement around it. Snow’s broader portfolio includes storytelling, ambassador and mentor programs.

We already invest in patient stories. Why add PatientPartner?

A patient who relates to a story may still have personal questions. PatientPartner gives your program a way to connect that interest with experienced peer mentors. Bring your existing campaign or patient-support journey to the demo and we’ll explore where that connection belongs.

What will our team see in a demo?

We’ll walk through the patient experience, mentor connection, program oversight and engagement views. Bring one patient scenario and the reporting questions you need to answer. The goal is to show how PatientPartner would fit the work in front of you.

What would moving from an agency program involve?

Start with the parts of your current program you want to keep and the friction you want to remove. We’ll discuss patient entry points, consent, mentor requirements, data access and delivery responsibilities to shape a proposal for your team.

How should we evaluate compliance and monitoring?

Ask for a walkthrough of safeguards, review ownership, escalation and documentation. Confirm requirements with your internal compliance and security teams. Review PatientPartner’s compliance overview.

What does the 68% study result mean?

It means 131 of 193 mentor-connected patients requested a physician referral, treatment scheduling or prescription refill. The 12-month observational study used patient-reported findings. It does not establish treatment starts, a lift in adherence or superiority over another provider.
