Laguna Health, a post-hospital recovery assurance company offering a value-based solution to reduce costly readmissions and shorten recovery times, today publicly launched and announced $6.6M in seed-funding. Pitango HealthTech and LionBird co-led the funding round, with participation from Assaf Wand, founder and CEO of Hippo Insurance and Josh Riff, founder and CEO of Onduo. Laguna’s recovery platform is the first to fuse data, digital care tools, and proven behavioral health interventions to radically reduce negative outcomes. These include lost productivity, mental health issues, substance use disorder or misuse, and the $80B+ spent annually on readmissions.1 Now with Laguna, all the key stakeholders in the health care ecosystem—including employers, health plans, and health systems—have the ability to ensure every patient recovers with confidence.
