For Episode 3 of the BLK GRL MOB POD, we’re featuring the incredible Emily Woodman-Nance, founder and CEO of At Their Side, an award-winning HealthTech company transforming communication in long-term care.

Based in Long Beach, California, Emily created At Their Side after experiencing firsthand how difficult it was to get clear, timely updates while navigating long-term care with her own family. That experience inspired her to build a platform that helps care providers communicate more consistently with families—reducing stress, building trust, and creating stronger connections during some of life’s most vulnerable moments.

In this episode, Emily shares how lived experience became innovation, why empathy and thoughtful design matter in healthcare, and how winning the McKnight’s Tech Award helped validate the impact of her work. This conversation is a powerful reminder that some of the best businesses are born from solving the problems we’ve personally lived through.
