We were built for this...

Flax Health was founded when Trent and David, experts in workflow automation and clinical artificial intelligence, joined forces around a shared belief: healthcare operations should support clinicians in caring for patients, not weigh them down with paperwork. Together, they’re building tools that cut administrative overhead, sharpen clinical insights, and create streamline workflows to drive better patient outcomes.

We’re focused on skilled nursing — one of healthcare’s most essential yet historically underserved sectors — and are creating a platform that helps teams reclaim time and unlock revenue by addressing the root problem: fragmented, hard-to-use clinical data.

Our Mission

Our mission is to reduce the administrative load in healthcare so clinicians and operators can focus on what matters most: delivering high-quality care.We use AI to ensure the right information reaches the right people at the right time — improving documentation accuracy, accelerating workflows, and helping teams make smarter decisions. By rethinking how clinical data is structured and applied, we help healthcare providers operate more efficiently, compliantly, and sustainably.

Our Team

Flax was co-founded by Trent Hazy and David Kartchner, repeat entrepreneurs with complementary strengths. Trent previously built enterprise-scale automation products at Microsoft, while David earned his PhD in AI for healthcare from Georgia Tech, specializing in clinical data extraction and large language models.

Together with a team of experienced engineers, researchers, and clinicians, we’re building practical, powerful tools that make skilled nursing operations flow more seamlessly.
