Family Care Navigator

FAMILY CARE NAVIGATOR Village | Full-Time WHY WE'RE BUILDING VILLAGE Village Co-founder and CEO Brandon Terry's daughter Payton was born with a rare genetic condition — partially missing a chromosome critical for building essential organs. Diagnosed at 2 months old, she had 5 surgeries in her first 2 years. Brandon and his wife were told she might never walk or talk. Payton is doing wonderfully today. But what Brandon and his family remember most isn't just the medical complexity — it's the feeling of being on their own. Great doctors, but no one helping them navigate each step of the journey. No one connecting the dots. Tens of millions of families are living that same experience right now — navigating developmental delays, rare conditions, chronic illness, and special needs without a real partner in their corner. The more families Village meets, the more they realize this experience is not unique, but shared. There has to be a better way. This is why we're building it.
