Patient Access Leader Investing in Product Innovation & Partnerships to Meet Fast-Growing Demand
Boston, MA – Kyruus, a leader in provider search and scheduling solutions for health systems, today announced that it has raised $10 million in new financing in a strategic round. The new financing comes on the heels of a year of unprecedented growth in which the company doubled its revenue and increased the number of hospitals on its platform by 50%. Kyruus will primarily use the investment to grow its product development and delivery teams to support the expansion of its platform, integrations with additional leading players in the digital health ecosystem, and ongoing customer success.
Health systems across the country are putting a heavy focus on the “front doors” of their organizations – online and offline access points that set the tone for the patient’s entire experience with the health system. Already offering the only enterprise-wide patient access solution on the market, this latest financing round will enable Kyruus to deepen its product capabilities and further support its customers’ patient access strategies beyond the traditional walls of a health system. In addition, it will facilitate Kyruus’ growing partnerships with industry leaders offering complementary solutions to support health systems’ access initiatives. Building on its partnership with Salesforce last year, Kyruus announced a collaboration with IBM Watson last month and its membership in the Epic App Orchard earlier this year.
Kyruus counts many of the leading health systems in the US among its customer base, which now includes more than 400 hospitals. In the past year alone, major new customer announcements included Piedmont Healthcare, Jefferson Health, and University of Miami Health System. Its customers are increasingly deploying the company’s solutions at multiple access points as well. Last month Kyruus announced a major expansion with Partners HealthCare that involved the health system not only expanding to use both Kyruus’ consumer and access center solutions, but also deploying ProviderMatch across its network.
Providence St. Joseph Health (through its venture capital fund, Providence Ventures) is one of two health systems that have invested in Kyruus. “At a time when there are so many solutions trying to address a piece of the access puzzle, Kyruus offers a truly foundational platform,” said Aaron Martin, EVP & Chief Digital Officer at Providence St. Joseph Health and Managing General Partner, Providence Ventures. “As a customer and investor, it’s been great to be part of Kyruus’ growth and we look forward to partnering with them as they continue to pave the way in helping more people in our communities access our care.”
“We’re excited to cap off a momentous year for the company with new funding to support our next phase of growth,“ said Graham Gardner, CEO of Kyruus. “With patient access a growing strategic priority for health systems nationwide, we are now poised to extend both our platform and partner ecosystem to keep our customers ahead of the curve.”
Kyruus is financed by some of the leading venture capital firms, technology companies, and health systems in the US. This includes Venrock, Highland Capital, New Leaf Venture Partners, Leerink Transformation Partners, F-Prime Capital Partners, Fidelity Biosciences, McKesson Ventures, Lux Capital, and Providence Ventures. The company is currently headquartered in the Back Bay area of Boston, but will be moving to a new office in the Seaport area this summer to accommodate growth in its employee base.
