Exciting to see such great results coming out of myLaurel™''s partnership with Ochsner Health to prevent low-acuity admissions from emergency departments and help reduce readmissions after patient discharge. "The partnership has reportedly achieved remarkable early results, preventing initial admissions or 15-day readmissions for 92% of patients referred from the emergency department and observation units." Way to go myLaurel™ team!

Check out Josh Cohen's recent conversation with Tim Tonella about the transformative potential of impact investing!
CEO, MatchStar Venture Search | I help VC-backed founders build BILLION-dollar teams! | Don’t believe me? Hear it from them directly on the VENTURE 2 VICTORY podcast | venture capital | private equity | executive search
Is Venture Capital a Force for Good? On a personal level, yes, I’ve met many thoughtful VCs. But on an INSTITUTIONAL level, ONE is actually changing the game! I recently sat down with Josh Cohen, Founder of City Light Capital in NYC. We first met Josh working on a CEO search for a portfolio company in the EdTech space. City Light Capital's investment thesis focuses on a concept called “Impact Investing,” which funds businesses that deliver strong financial returns while making a measurable social impact in marginalized communities and investment sectors. Check out my full conversation with Josh using the link in my first COMMENT below. Josh is not a traditional VC; he’s been an investment banker, a corporate operator, a family office investment adviser, and founder of a VC firm with 5 funds. 9/11 changed his life - and his life’s mission - forever. Contemplating the fragility of our time on this planet, he quickly came to the conclusion that there’s little room to wait. So he decided to take action NOW, in the present, and put his money where his heart is. If you’re a founder, or startup team member, whose company’s mission is to make a positive social impact in our world, you need an investment partner like Josh! #impactinvesting #venturecapital #executiverecruiting #startups

#WorldMenopauseMonth isn't just a celebration; it's a call to arms. In recent years, menopause has earned itself a prime spot in conversations around women’s health, but conversation alone does not equate to progress when it comes to healthcare access, equity, and outcomes. At Elektra Health, we are proud to provide high-quality menopause & midlife women’s healthcare to people of all backgrounds and insurance types, including Medicaid-sponsored insurance. With support from health plan partners like EmblemHealth, we’ve made great strides in expanding access to affordable, evidence-based menopause care. But we still frequently encounter a shocking sentiment from health plan executives: “we don’t think this population will be interested.” We can affirm, having heard from over a thousand Medicaid-insured individuals seeking access to care they can both trust and afford, they are interested! This notion that menopause care is a nice-to-have isn’t just inaccurate — it inhibits large swaths of Americans from accessing necessary care during this universal biological transition. This World Menopause Month, we invite you to join us in inviting health plans and industry stakeholders to acknowledge the crucial need for wider menopause care access — because menopause doesn’t discriminate, and neither should the healthcare system. Sign the open letter: https://lnkd.in/edmpz5se // Jannine Versi Caitlin Klauer Erin O'Connor Grace Veras Sealy Ioana Calcev Jacqueline Giannelli RN, MSN, FNP-BC, NCMP Laura Stratte, RN, BSN Nora Lansen, MD Rachel Amalfitano Wade Testa Amy Diaz Alessandra Henderson Beth Braun Lavanya Jayachandran Jacqueline Parisi
