CareYaya is the most trusted name for physicians, nurses, and social workers to refer for family care. Most families are introduced to CareYaya by partner physicians at top health systems like Duke, Johns Hopkins, and Stanford.

CareYaya is able to provide its high-quality, free services thanks to the support and funding from leading healthcare organizations including Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Atrium Health.

CareYaya currently serves areas within a 30-45 minute drive from certain 4-year universities across multiple states. The drive times tolerable by students depend on the length and schedule of appointments requested; for example, an overnight appointment on a weekend will mean the highest likelihood of a student acceptance for a 30-45min drive.

It is usually pretty fast to expand to a new university and serve the surrounding community - especially large universities. If your area isn’t listed, but you live close-by to a medium-large university, please let us know via chat or email support@careyaya.org, and we will consider your area as the next expansion for our resource!
