 “By equipping our members with Oura Ring, we’re giving them the tools to proactively manage their health and make more informed decisions every day,” said Jordan Reigel, president of Essence Healthcare. “For two decades, Essence has been at the forefront of innovation, dedicated to improving the lives of seniors and Medicare beneficiaries. This partnership with ŌURA is another bold step in our mission to deliver cutting-edge healthcare solutions that grow with our members’ needs and set a new standard in personalized care.”
