Laguna Health Tackles Post-Hospital Recovery With $6.6M Seed
Summary
Shtein said employers end up paying some $80 billion in unexpected post-hospital recovery costs as a result of readmissions. Laguna Health is working to revamp the packet of discharge papers patients receive and the infrequent phone calls from hospital staff into value-based care management. The company is also negotiating with a large medical complex and will be adding to its headcount in both data techs and behavioral health. Guy Ezekiel, general partner at Pitango Venture Capital, said in an interview that it is rare to find a company taking on this area holistically. “Yoni comes from fintech and Yael comes from health care, and that combination of DNA in the founders makes them special and unique, as is their enthusiasm and thoughtfulness.”
