Avizia, a Reston, Va.-based telehealth solutions provider, raised $6 million in funds to conclude the company's first significant round of venture capital financing at a total of $17 million.
Avizia collected an initial $11 million in July. The new round of $6 million investment monies was led by HealthQuest Capital — a healthcare investment firm — and New York-Presbyterian Hospital, which has been a forerunner in delivering video to increase patient engagement and improve outcomes.
"This investment represents an important step forward for NewYork-Presbyterian and our digital health offerings," said President and CEO of NewYork-Presbyterian, Steven J. Corwin, MD. "We look forward to collaborating with Avizia and bringing the next generation of healthcare technology to patients in New York and around the country."
