HOW IT STARTED
The story behind Teem
Cory Pinegar, Founder & CEO, on why Teem exists and where it’s going.
In December of 2016, the co-founders of Weave offered to sell me a small department of their company for one dollar. My father, who I love and respect more than anyone, told me it was the dumbest idea he’d ever heard.
He wasn’t entirely wrong to be skeptical.
For years we grew it the old-fashioned way: hiring locally, training hard, trying to hold a team together in an industry where turnover never stops. Then Covid hit and everything broke at once. We were hiring 15 to 25 people a month just to maintain the same headcount. Something had to change.
Someone suggested hiring from Latin America. I was the loudest voice against it. I’d had too many frustrating experiences with outsourced call centers, thick accents, scripts, people who couldn’t actually help. I’d written off the whole idea.
We hired two people anyway. Begrudgingly.
Those two hires changed it all.
The problem was never international talent. The problem was how most companies approached it, as a cost play, not a quality play.
That realization became Teem.
There are brilliant professionals across Latin America and the Philippines who deserve careers worthy of their skills. There are healthcare practices across the US that need people who show up like they own the outcome. Our job is to connect both, carefully, and for the long term.

WHO WE ARE
A few things we believe deeply
This is how we operate.
We act like it’s our business, because in the ways that matter, it is
Ownership isn’t a value we talk about. It’s the difference between someone who does the job and someone who cares how it turns out. We hire for it, we model it, and we expect it from ourselves first.
When in doubt, we say it out loud
Assumptions are expensive in this business. Whether it’s a practice navigating a new hire or a member working across time zones, clarity is always the right call. We over-communicate on purpose.
We spot the issue before it becomes a problem
A proactive approach is the only approach. We see what’s coming, we move toward it, and we bring solutions before problems become visible. That’s true for our team and the members we place.
We’re in this for the long term
With the practices we serve, the members we place, and each other. Every interaction either builds something or erodes it. We choose to build, and we measure success in years, not transactions.
WHERE WE HIRE
Two regions, one reason
We hire from Latin America and the Philippines because the talent is exceptional, and because we’ve seen what happens when the match is right.
Latin America
Our Latin American members bring warmth, cultural alignment, and native-level Spanish and English fluency. For patient-facing roles, front desk, calls, and scheduling, the connection they build with patients is immediate and real. They don’t just answer calls. They represent your practice.
Philippines
Our members from the Philippines bring deep knowledge of US healthcare systems: insurance, billing, scribing, back-office operations. Precise, detail-oriented, and deeply professional. They keep the engine running so the rest of your practice can focus on patient care.
THE TEAM
Built by people who care
A growing team with a clear direction.
