– Zarminali Health, a new pediatric healthcare provider, has secured $40M in seed funding to revolutionize the delivery of primary and specialty care for children led by General Catalyst.
– Zarminali Health is poised to transform the pediatric healthcare landscape by providing a modern, integrated, and patient-centric approach to care. The innovative model has the potential to improve health outcomes for children, reduce clinician burnout, and alleviate the burden on families navigating the complexities of the healthcare system.
Addressing the Challenges of Pediatric Care
The current pediatric healthcare system is often fragmented and inefficient, placing a significant burden on families to navigate complex care pathways. Pediatricians face overwhelming caseloads and administrative tasks, while specialists remain siloed from primary care teams. This fragmented approach can lead to delays in care, clinician burnout, and suboptimal health outcomes for children.
Zarminali Health’s Innovative Approach
Founded by Danish Qureshi, co-founder and former President and COO of LifeStance Health, Zarminali Health’s mission is deeply rooted in personal experience. Qureshi’s own challenges in coordinating care for his child with an autoimmune disorder inspired him to create a more patient-centric pediatric healthcare model.
Zarminali Health aims to address these challenges by:
- Integrating primary and specialty care: Providing a seamless and coordinated care experience for families.
- Leveraging technology: Utilizing the latest healthcare technology to streamline workflows and improve efficiency.
- Empowering clinicians: Reducing administrative burden and enabling clinicians to focus on delivering high-quality care.
- Improving patient outcomes: Enhancing care coordination and access to specialized services.
“Zarminali is being painstakingly designed by parents like myself who have struggled against the current flaws of our healthcare system and know that every child deserves amazing care, from birth to adulthood,” said Qureshi. “After navigating the broken system with my daughter, I wanted to apply my experience transforming outpatient mental healthcare at LifeStance to improving pediatric care on a national scale. This initial funding round is an immense validator and kickstarts our mission to create a world where every child’s health journey is seamlessly coordinated, where advanced technology enhances every interaction, and where our clinicians and team members support each family every step of the way.”
