Cureatr has raised a $13 million Series B in a round led by Deerfield Investments. Also participating were new investors – Cerner Capital and Windham Ventures, as well as returning investors, including Cardinal Partners, Milestone Venture Partners, Partnership Fund for New York City, and JMI Services.

The company, which provides a secure messaging tool to help healthcare professionals collaborate and discuss a patient’s condition, will use the new capital to support expanded partnerships with DaVita HealthCare Partners and to further its national expansion.

“In order to accomplish this expansion, we are working to launch networks in key new markets this year with regional and technology partners to support our users’ population management needs, “Cureatr CEO and co-founder Dr Joseph Mayer. “We’re using our mobile care coordination platform to fit into the workflow to each of our users, which traditionally has not been possible with in-network EMRs, and has been mostly unexplored by other population health technologies.”

In March, Cureatr expanded its collaboration with DaVita across its outpatient dialysis centers and its managed care business Healthcare Partners widening its users to thousands of clinicians.
