Dear Friends in the Fight,

Mighty Well is a mission-based company, and our team has faced a rollercoaster of emotions from heartache and outrage over the senseless deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, and Breonna Taylor, ​and all the other victims of senseless racism and police actions. We have​ hope that this will unite us in finally creating lasting change. Our founding team believes that our society must make racial justice a reality and end police violence against Black communities. In support of Black Lives Matter, Maria del Mar, Yousef, and I participated in the protests in Boston and Newport this weekend. We also contributed to Black Lives Matter: Minneapolis, the Massachusetts Bail Fund, and Muhsen, an NYC based umbrella organization serving children and adults with any intellectual, mental, or physical disability.

We want to foster a more just community for our Friends in the Fight. We are listening. We are learning. We are committed to doing more. Most importantly, we are committed to continuing to be a company that has brave conversations about justice, including discussions about racism, ableism, disability rights, and gender parity. Highlighting Black Friends in the Fight has been a part of our diversity and inclusion mission from day one, but we can do more.

In the coming weeks, we will be resharing and featuring new stories of our Black Friends in the Fight. In our first paid partnership with Eloquest Healthcare Inc., Mighty Well featured the ​Diabetic Diva,​ Isabelle Edwards: Meet Isabelle Edwards- Type 2 Diabetes & Gastroperisis Warrior. She shared her perspective of living with multiple chronic illnesses and medical devices. Please look out for our Instagram Live next week with Keisha Greaves, founder of Girls Chronically Rock, to discuss what the medical and adaptive wear industries can do today and tomorrow to include Black voices.

For many of our Friends in the Fight – particularly those who are immunocompromised or disabled – it is not safe to protest. Fortunately, there is a wide range of ways to get involved! We have released our Top 5 Tips to Protest While ImmunoCompromised/Disabled on social media and our blog. Please share it with your friends and network. Moving forward, we will use our platforms to highlight the disparities that Black Americans with chronic illnesses face and provide educational content for our audience.

Participating in the protests this weekend was eye-opening – even from an appropriate social distance while wearing prototypes of our Mighty Well Mask™, our new antimicrobial finished face mask. We are launching our Mighty Well Mask™ at the beginning of July and will be donating our first 500 Mighty Well Masks™ to Black Lives Matter approved organizations.

While we are proud of the diversity and inclusion on our team, advisory board, and on our cap-table, we know we can do better to combat systemic racism and unconscious bias in the healthcare industry, the disability community, and in our everyday lives. We would love to hear from you if you have any feedback or ideas on how we can do better: listenup@mightywell.com.

Mightier Together,

Emily Levy, Yousef Al-Humaidhi, and Maria del Mar Gomez-Viyella

Our Story

Mighty Well - Founder - Emily Levy - Our Story

 

It all started with a cut off sock, a cute hockey player, and an 8 AM finance class. Oh, and a PICC Line. That moment inspired us to launch our first product, the PICCPerfect PICC Line Cover.

 

We know it stinks to feel defined by a diagnosis or feel like just a name on a doctor’s chart. Sounds like you? Read how our founder turned sickness into strength.

One positive that came out of the pandemic was tha One positive that came out of the pandemic was that many of us were able to have flexible working arrangements. As more states lift restrictions, heading back to work after months of working from home can be a huge adjustment for so many of us. Allowing time in our schedules for commuting, brushing up on our social skills, and making sure to have access to our medical supplies are just a few things we need to prepare for.

📸 Mighty Well ambassador @ameliablackwater headed back to the classroom last week and is working on finding a happy balance of working, socializing, and finding time for herself. 

If you've returned to work, what was the hardest part about making the transition back?

You can hardly wait to tell everyone what happened You can hardly wait to tell everyone what happened and  suddenly start talking and realize you don't know where the story is going...has this happened to anyone else lately 🙋‍♂️We've been there! Brain fog, perhaps the most universal aspect of illness, is exhausting. Cognitive disorders can be frustrating but take solace in knowing that you are not alone. We've all experienced that foggy feeling 🌫 and although it's not permanent, it can arrive quickly and definitely overstay its welcome. 

Looking for a little help getting the fog to lift? Our Brain Fog Fix Planner is more than just a reminder system. It includes space to track daily symptoms, hydration, thoughts and moments of gratitude amidst the daily challenges and is brought to you with input from our Friends in the Fight® Click the link in our bio to find out more.

We've got your back! Our Mighty Pack is the first We've got your back! Our Mighty Pack is the first medical backpack designed by patients, for patients. Our backpack is perfect for wheelchair users, as it has multiple strap locations to allow for flexibility. Nobody needs to know that you are carrying or wearing your essential medical devices and supplies. As patients ourselves, this is a product that we wish we’d had! 💪💚 Best of all this can be purchased with most FSAs (Flexible Spending Accounts) and HSAs (Health Savings Accounts) Click on the photo to take a look inside the Mighty Pack. 

📹 We are all smiles over this video of Mighty Well ambassador @rebellious_story & her dog Sherlock 😍
