Paralign Health announced it has raised $3 million in seed funding to expand its national network of fire departments and EMS agencies, accelerate development of its technology platform, and grow partnerships with health plans. The round was led by Flyover Capital, with participation from SixThirty Ventures, Springtime Ventures, Forum Ventures, Sorenson Impact Foundation, Stone Mountain Ventures, and GovTech Ventures.
The Paralign Health platform enables health plans to reach underserved patients through Mobile Integrated Health-Community Paramedicine (MIH-CP) programs. The company focuses on scaling EMS-led, in-home preventative care by partnering with local fire departments and EMS agencies in medically underserved communities.
More than one in four Americans live in medically underserved areas with limited access to preventative healthcare, resulting in higher rates of unmanaged chronic illness, avoidable emergency room visits, and poor long-term health outcomes. Paralign Health’s model leverages trusted emergency response teams already embedded within local communities to proactively engage patients who often lack reliable access to primary care and preventative services.
Paralign Health was co-founded by CEO and EMT Aaron Molloy and EMS leader Justin Duncan. The company’s platform enables health plans to identify high-risk members, coordinate EMS-led in-home interventions, track performance, and manage contracting, claims, and payment workflows with local EMS agencies. The goal is to improve patient outcomes while reducing avoidable healthcare utilization and overall cost of care.
KEY QUOTES:
“Rural communities need new ways to expand access to care, and local EMS agencies are one of the most trusted assets already in place. Paralign is building an operating model to help health plans and EMS agencies turn that trust into a scalable care model.”
Patrick Berry, Partner, Flyover Capital
“Fire departments and EMS agencies already know who is falling through the cracks because they see these patients every day. We’re building the infrastructure that allows health plans and local EMS teams to work together upstream, before preventable situations become medical emergencies.”
“As an EMT, I witnessed firsthand that communities succeed when they’re empowered to care for their own. Paralign improves patient outcomes while establishing a foundation for a fairer and more sustainable healthcare system.”
Aaron Molloy, CEO And EMT, Paralign Health
