Mahmee is a maternity and infant care management platform that makes it easy for hospitals, health systems, and their patients to coordinate comprehensive prenatal and postpartum healthcare from anywhere.
We provide virtual and in-person prenatal and postpartum services, such as lactation support, to families across the country.
In the U.S., maternal and infant healthcare services are highly fragmented and siloed.
This means the burden of navigating the healthcare system falls on millions of new parents.
Mahmee links large health systems, independent practitioners, and patients all in one platform so that 1) high-risk patients are identified and preventable medical expenses and readmissions are avoided, 2) health systems can provide innovative new maternity-related products and services, and 3) patients are highly satisfied and engaged in their care experiences because we are supporting them along the journey.
Mahmee was founded by Melissa Hanna, JD/MBA, and inspired by the work of Melissa’s own mother, Linda M.
Hanna, RNC, MSN/Ed., IBCLC, who designed and launched both the Great Starts outpatient breastfeeding center at Kaiser Permanente and the Lactation Center at Cedars Sinai Medical Center, in addition to other nationally recognized maternity care programs.
Melissa and Linda, who serves as cofounder and Chief Nursing Officer of Mahmee, are joined by cofounder/CTO Sunny Walia, an enterprise platform specialist who previously served as VP of Engineering & Operations at Demand Media and CTO at Spin Media.
