The move brings together two of healthcare’s largest and most innovative language access companies, Voyce and Martti.
Columbus, OH (August 22, 2024) – Cloudbreak Health, LLC, a leader in video remote interpretation services for the healthcare industry, today announced its acquisition of Voyce, a tech-enabled language services provider. The move brings together two of healthcare’s largest and most innovative language access companies, Voyce and Cloudbreak’s Martti™, the first-to-market video remote interpretation.
The acquisition was made in concert with the company’s strategic rebrand to Equiti. Together, these initiatives further enhance Equiti’s service offerings and solidify its position as a leading supplier of language interpretation solutions. Both Martti and Voyce will operate and innovate under the Equiti umbrella.
“Equiti is focused on empowering patients and providers for all things language access,” said Maureen Huber, CEO of Equiti. “It begins by bringing together the industry’s most talented minds — people who share a passion for supporting those whose lives and well-being depend on communicating quickly and effectively. Healthcare equity doesn’t end with language services — this is just the beginning.”
Bringing Martti and Voyce together under the Equiti umbrella greatly expands interpreter resources, meaning ever-faster connection times and even broader language coverage, enhancing the experience for providers and patients, and further improving patient outcomes.
“Today’s announcements are a big step to improving equitable care for millions of patients across North America. They reflect our dedication to delivering technology-driven solutions that empower healthcare providers and improve patient outcomes,” explained Andrew Royce, CEO of Voyce and the new President of Equiti. “As the teams behind Martti and Voyce come together, we will provide the best and most intuitive platforms for interpreters, while simultaneously addressing the diverse needs of hospitals, health systems, and their communities.”
The Equiti team, led by CEO Maureen Huber, President Andrew Royce, CFO Mike Schmidt, and Martti Co-Founder Andy Panos, is made up of pioneering experts with a deep understanding of the industry’s challenges. Together, they have a shared vision for the future of language access and health equity. The company is committed to ongoing innovation and delivering even better support for healthcare providers and patients.
