Leadership

Our Founders

Meet the visionaries behind Trusscare, united by a shared passion for transforming healthcare communication.

Sarah Uran, CEO and Co-founder of Trusscare
My Why
My personal connection to Trusscare's mission stems from years of navigating a complex medical system that often left me feeling unheard and frustrated. I experienced the struggle of not knowing how to articulate my symptoms effectively or what questions to ask during appointments. Through my science background, I gained knowledge but still faced doctors who dismissed my pain or lacked empathy during brief visits.
