Los Angeles-based health technology company, Mahmee, is expanding its maternal and infant health services into the Central Valley. The company was created by entrepreneur Melissa Hanna and her mother, Linda Hanna, a maternal health nurse and lactation consultant with over 40 years of experience. Early investors included Mark Cuban, Serena Williams, and AOL founder Steve Case. The firm aims to bridge gaps in care between doctor visits and hospital stays to improve outcomes for mothers and babies. Initially launched in Southern California and plans to expand throughout the state in 2025. MahMee’s first software-based program was designed to connect community-based providers with hospitals and physicians in 2016. It then evolved into a vertically integrated model employing its own team of doulas, nurses, lactation consultants, mental health providers and nutritionists.
