Eir Partners, a middle-market private equity firm focused on healthcare technology and tech-enabled services, announced a growth investment in Porter, the only platform dedicated to connecting plan members with the resources, services, products, and education they need to live their best lives at home.
Porter is headed by John Criswell, an experienced healthcare technology founder, who witnessed firsthand how the healthcare system’s complexity negatively impacts the quality of care for members and patients of payors and providers. And John created Porter to build a technology solution to simplify the healthcare maze.
Based in Baltimore, Porter has distinguished itself as the only quality- and risk adjustment-focused care coordination program. Porter utilizes technology and AI to streamline care coordination, removing barriers to follow-up treatment, improving patient outcomes, and driving compliance for risk adjustment programs. Porter’s technology and services reach across the U.S., helping members from diverse backgrounds with a wide range of health conditions.
Eir Partners received legal counsel from McDermot Will and Emery.
