About Us

A Love Story. A Mission to Improve Every Patient Experience.

Dr. Linda Farmer, an oncologist, dedicated her life to helping patients understand their care, one person and one clinical experience at a time. Her husband, Kermit Farmer, saw the impact of that compassion and guidance firsthand.

PATHS was founded to extend that commitment: helping thousands of healthcare professionals prepare and support patients throughout the journey, while learning how to make each experience better.

From One Physician's Compassion to Thousands of Care Teams.

Linda was relentless in her commitment to educating and preparing patients for the road ahead in cancer care.

PATHS extends that commitment by giving care teams a way to share their expertise through actionable patient journeys and learn from patient engagement.

By helping patients access guidance beyond clinical encounters, PATHS can reduce repetitive work for care teams while providing greater visibility into the patient journey.

Our Belief

Every Patient Journey Should Make the Next One Better.

When healthcare organizations can see what patients understand, how they engage, and where they need support, each experience becomes an opportunity to improve the next.

Our Commitment

Built for Public Benefit. Driven by Purpose.

PATHS is a public benefit corporation committed to helping healthcare organizations improve patient journeys through knowledge, engagement, and continuous learning.

Make the Invisible Journey Visible.

Start with one workflow. Understand what happens. Improve the next journey.
