Ready Responders

Ready Responders (now rebranded as myLaurel) is an innovative mobile healthcare company based in New Orleans that delivers on-demand, in-home medical care powered by EMTs and paramedics dispatched through proprietary technology. Founded by co-founder and CEO Justin Dangel, the company connects health professionals within local neighborhoods to deliver vital, affordable medical services directly to patients, handling low-acuity and non-emergent care to alleviate strain on emergency departments. The platform uses a hybrid model of hands-on clinical care supported by virtual technology to prevent unnecessary hospitalizations, reduce 30-day readmissions by 49%, and free critical hospital bed capacity for health systems and payers. Ready Responders raised a $54 million Series C funding round to expand its services nationwide.
