RHITES (Reproductive Health Initiative for Telehealth Equity & Solutions)

What RHITES (Reproductive Health Initiative for Telehealth Equity & Solutions) does

RHITES (Reproductive Health Initiative for Telehealth Equity & Solutions) is a U.S. non-profit organization founded in October 2022 that operates as a policy-analysis, advocacy, and technical-assistance platform focused on telehealth medication abortion (TMAB). Its served audience comprises policymakers, regulators, abortion funds, telehealth abortion providers, clinicians, and reproductive-health advocates who require structured, state-by-state intelligence on the legal and regulatory environment for medication abortion delivered via telehealth, particularly in the post-Dobbs landscape.

The organization's core product suite centers on a set of interactive tools and content assets: the TMAB State Policy Maps covering all 50 U.S. states, a Legislative Tracker built on the Quorum platform for monitoring relevant state legislation, a Resources Library aggregating policy and clinical materials, periodic Policy Updates, and a publicly available Legal Analysis Framework. These products collectively function as a structured data and content layer for the TMAB policy field, and the work has been cited or featured in major national outlets including Vox, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, NPR, The New York Times, TechCrunch, Vogue, and Wired. RHITES does not deliver clinical care; its role is upstream of providers such as Hey Jane, and it positions itself as a connective node between legal experts (e.g., Manatt Phelps & Phillips), abortion funds (e.g., Cobalt, National Abortion Federation), equity-focused advocates (e.g., California Latinas for Reproductive Justice), and telehealth-delivery organizations.

RHITES' business model is that of a small donor- and grant-funded non-profit with a stated staff headcount of 1–10. Its published fundraising mechanism is tiered individual donations at $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 levels, supplemented by unspecified grants. The organization does not charge fees for its core policy products, and no revenue, operating budget, or audited financials are disclosed in available materials. Its competitive position rests on niche regulatory specialization, a growing partner ecosystem, and media visibility rather than on technology differentiation, paid distribution, or large-scale fundraising scale.

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Hey Jane: Leading telehealth medication abortion provider. Listed as a partner/customer of RHITES; relevant peer because it operates in the same TMAB ecosystem and benefits from RHITES' policy work, but is a clinical services provider rather than a policy/advocacy organization.

Broad incumbents

• Center for Reproductive Rights: Global legal advocacy organization advancing reproductive rights through litigation and policy. Comparable to RHITES in its focus on legal analysis and policy frameworks at the intersection of reproductive health and law, though operating at a much larger international scale.
• Guttmacher Institute: Leading reproductive health research and policy organization. Directly comparable because, like RHITES, it produces research, policy analysis, and data products on sexual and reproductive health access in the U.S., though at much broader scope and scale.

Direct peers

• Center for Telehealth & e-Health Law (CTeL): Nonprofit telehealth policy research organization. Already a partner of RHITES; directly comparable because it produces policy briefs and legal analysis on telehealth regulation, providing the telehealth-policy expertise that complements RHITES' reproductive-health specialization.
• Reproductive Health Access Project (RHAP): Nonprofit that trains clinicians in abortion and contraception care. Already a partner of RHITES; comparable because it produces clinical and policy resources and partners with primary care providers to expand SRH access, overlapping with RHITES' provider-facing audience.
• National Family Planning & Reproductive Health Association: Membership organization for the family planning provider safety net. Highly comparable because it provides policy analysis, advocacy, and technical assistance to family planning and SRH providers across the U.S. — mirroring RHITES' role as a policy and technical-assistance backbone for SRH/TMAB providers.
• If/When/How: Reproductive justice legal and policy organization. Directly comparable because it combines legal analysis, policy advocacy, and direct support for people navigating abortion access — paralleling RHITES' model of bridging policy/legal analysis with on-the-ground advocacy.
• Power to Decide: Reproductive health advocacy organization focused on preventing unplanned pregnancy. Comparable because it engages in policy, research, and advocacy to expand SRH access, with a similar audience of advocates and providers, though without RHITES' specific telehealth-policy specialization.
• National Abortion Federation: Professional association of abortion providers. A direct customer of RHITES; comparable because it serves as a hub for abortion providers via policy resources, training, and support — closely paralleling RHITES' mission of supporting TMAB providers with up-to-date information.

Emerging players

• Telehealth Equity Coalition: Coalition focused on equitable telehealth access for underserved populations. Comparable because it operates at the intersection of telehealth policy and health equity advocacy — overlapping with RHITES' mission to ensure telehealth advances rather than entrenches inequities.
