What We Do
Nearly half of patients needing medical equipment at discharge don’t get it in time. The ordering process is too convoluted and is still primarily handled by fax. These inefficiencies lead to higher cost of care and poorer patient outcomes. In the most extreme cases, this equipment means life or death. At Parachute Health, it is our mission to make sure that every patient gets what they need, when they need it. We achieve this by driving efficiency through digital connectivity into every aspect of the ordering process, making it delightfully simple.
Why Work With Us
Working at Parachute Health means you'll be part of a collaborative environment where your contributions directly impact patient care and the efficiency of the healthcare system. You'll tackle challenging problems, utilize modern tech stacks, and enjoy a culture that prioritizes innovation, transparency, and growth.
