Samantha Eells
Founder
Sam’s passion for serving people, improving health and well-being, and creative endeavors led to the foundation of Lightship. In her prior work at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center and UCLA and as a founding team member at Science 37, Sam honed a skillset for creating and building ideas that keep people and their health at the center. Sam also finds inspiration in nature and connection with the environment important for driving change and purpose. In partnership with her co-founders, Lightship was started to make clinical trials accessible for everyone. Together with the Lightship team, Sam works to offer access and choice for patients so that we can improve health equity through better treatment options for all people.
