Streamlining Clinical Operations for Health Systems

Vitalize Care is solving the most pressing clinical operations problems for health systems, starting with optimizing staffing and scheduling. We help hospitals dramatically reduce labor spend, improve operational efficiency, and unburden clinical leaders from hours of work per day. We're partnered with some of the country's most innovative health systems, and are excited to share more details soon!

Veeraj Shah, Founder

I'm an MD/PhD student turned founder of Vitalize, where we work with healthcare employers to improve the mental health + productivity of their staff. Prior to Vitalize, I co-founded two behavioral health nonprofits and co-led digital health strategy initiatives for the US Surgeon General and IBM. Originally got interested in healthcare through informatics research, where my most recent work was funded by the Gates Foundation. Love chatting about all things hiking and coffee!
