The Business Development Board assisted ReachLink with its expansion by fostering its growth and making connections to corporate teams such as Bank of America and HCA Hospitals. In fact, BDB Board Members,
 
Fabiola Brumley of Bank of America and Gina Melby of JFK Medical Center, played a big role in not only facilitating the expansion of this life science startup, but ultimately highlighting the high demand for access to telemedicine in the workplace. Since then, ReachLink secured a license to offer services in 18 states and expand its headquarters at the Reseach Park at FAU. According to a MarketWatch study, the Telemedicine Market is expected to exceed more than $60.44 Billion by 2024 at a CAGR of 18.50%, which shows an optimistic future for ReachLink.
