Treating patients as passive “guests” is on the way out. Mapping options is the future.
The last century of medical care centered around the hospital, a word which means "guest." Being treated as a guest, with someone taking charge over your care, is really only needed if you are very ill, unconscious, or in completely over your head.
Thankfully, we're living longer, have access to more information, and can be empowered now. It's time for another model. We don't want our doctors to make us feel like dependent guests in the house of medicine anymore. We want doctors to show us the map.
"Carte" means "map." Carte Clinics has spent thousands of hours mapping the topography of modern medicine's tests, specialists, and breakthroughs for our members. Equipped with a good map, our doctors will be your trustworthy guides.
We find the best medical routes for you. Because it's your journey.
