WhereToFindCare.com opens HQ in Ypsilanti’s SPARK East

The three women behind WhereToFindCare.com weren't exactly centralized when they started the firm last year.
The trio were spread out all over Metro Detroit, in places like Westland, Trenton and Allen Park. This type of virtual company didn't exactly lend itself to meetings and the like.
"It was very inconvenient," says Barbara O'Connell, co-founder of
WhereToFindCare.com
. "We're so spread out."
Not anymore. The fledgling business just signed on to claim space in
Ann Arbor SPARK's East
incubator in downtown Ypsilanti. The three women and an intern will help occupy the quickly filling space of entrepreneurs and established businesses.
"It seems like a good community for entrepreneurs," O'Connell says. "We want to be involved with that."
WhereToFindCare.com helps people choose health-care providers. Its website uses quality and satisfaction data of a number of different types of health care facilities and presents them in a format so users can make an easy decision.
The Ann Arbor SPARK East incubator opened earlier this spring in the newly renovated
Mack & Mack building
. It’s located in the ground floor of 215 Michigan Ave. next to Bombadill’s Cafe.
