Louisville, Ky. – Edumedics, a healthcare delivery company that provides a complete care management solution for individuals who have—or are trending toward—diabetes and other chronic conditions, has closed $4.2 million in Series A financing.
Edumedics will use the growth capital to expand to other states from its core populations in Kentucky and Maine. The funding will also accelerate the company’s unique offerings to Medicare groups who are challenged to achieve quality measures that impact HEDIS scores and Star ratings.
“Our healthcare system is ill-equipped to meet the challenges of affordability and to properly care for people trending toward chronic conditions,” said lead investor Bruce Lunsford of Lunsford Capital. “I am very impressed with the early results the Edumedics team has delivered for its clients—they are innovating with their proactive approach to care for those who have chronic conditions and are also providing a solid ROI for their clients.”
