At the heart of Mahmee is a culture driven by a profound mission to make the United States the best place in the world to give birth. The name 'Mahmee' (pronounced 'mom-me') itself embodies their core philosophy: providing nurturing care for the caregiver. This mission was born from a family legacy of clinical expertise, with co-founder and CEO Melissa Hanna inspired by the decades of work her mother and co-founder, Linda Hanna, a renowned Labor & Delivery Nurse, dedicated to maternal and infant healthcare. Together, they witnessed the frustrating gaps in a fragmented healthcare system where mothers and babies were falling through the cracks and set out to build the connective tissue to bridge them. The team operates on a set of deeply ingrained values: 'We always find a way', refusing to accept barriers; 'We show up', standing by families from day one; 'We own it', building trust through accountability; 'We make bold choices', challenging assumptions to innovate; and 'We're always learning', staying curious and evolving with the latest research to empower families with the most up-to-date care possible.
Mahmee believes it takes a dedicated community to truly elevate maternal and infant care. They have built a unique, tech-enabled, team-based model that provides wraparound support for every family's journey through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. This isn't just an app; it's a circle of care comprised of nurses, doulas, lactation consultants, mental health specialists, nutritionists, and care coordinators, all united behind one goal. By linking a mother and baby's health records on a single HIPAA-secure platform, they ensure seamless collaboration among providers, catching clinical risks before they become critical issues. This data-driven approach, combined with the essential human touch of personalized, one-on-one support, is how Mahmee is actively working to close gaps in care, reduce health disparities, and ensure every parent has the compassionate, expert team they deserve throughout their entire journey.
