UH Ventures, the innovation and commercialization division of University Hospitals health system, and Grays Ferry Capital also participated in the funding round, with existing investors, including Johns Hopkins University and Ben Franklin Technology Partners.
Roundtrip intends to use the new funds to expand its non-emergency medical transportation services in the United States.

“The future is in disease-state transportation solutions, and our outcomes-based view crosses COVID-19, the opioid crisis, cardiology, radiology, and cancer care, plus behavioral health and more.
