Pieces Technologies ("Pieces" or the "Company"), a healthcare artificial intelligence and technology company that connects health systems and the community to address clinical and social determinants of health, announced today that it has closed a $25.7 million Series B funding round led by healthcare investment firm Concord Health Partners.

"Concord is focused on identifying the most promising healthcare companies that address affordability while improving quality and access to care," said James Olsen, Founder and Managing Partner of Concord. "With its novel platform aligning interests and delivering strategic value to both health systems and communities, Pieces fits that profile seamlessly and is an ideal target for the American Hospital Association Innovation Development Fund. We are thrilled to support this exciting cross-sector technology company, and we look forward to helping drive its innovative technology to new communities for the benefit of patients across the country."
