Evolution of TeleMed MFM: Dr. Luissa Kiprono’s Entrepreneurial Journey

Dr. Luissa Kiprono faced challenges when her previous practice closed unexpectedly, leading her to choose the less-traveled path of starting TeleMed MFM. Motivated by a desire for independence and the vision to extend high-risk pregnancy care globally, she committed to a telemedicine-centric approach.

Her strategic decisions included establishing TeleMed MFM as the first to integrate telemedicine into maternal-fetal medicine services so completely. The practice adopted a hybrid model, combining consulting and procedures. Dr. Kiprono started by partnering exclusively with a prominent organization in Kansas City.
