Consult A Doctor 24/7 Raises $5 Million In Series A Funding

From PEHUB.com, "a public forum for private equity," Telemedicine solutions provider Consult A Doctor 24/7 announced that it closed a $5 million Series A round financing.
"This financing provides working capital to accelerate the adoption and utilization of our consumer directed telemedicine services and to expand additional cost cutting services such as Consult A Specialist, Labs and a flu program to name a few,” said Wolf Shlagman, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Consult A Doctor. Shlagman goes on to say “Consult A Doctor’s health care solutions accelerate the transformation to a consumer-driven healthcare revolution that lowers costs while providing greater access to affordable, quality health care - giving more choice, more control and more savings to everyone.”'
Interesting that part of the investor group is "New World Angels," a group of 40 entrepreneurs who have decided to live, work and invest in the South Florida area.
