Even though most of Nick Desai's employees work remotely, his office, like many others, is never fully closed--even during the peak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Desai is the co-founder and CEO of Heal, a Santa Monica, California-based health care company that offers both telemedicine and house calls with doctors. Desai goes into the office every day to work, along with a few other members of his team.
