Ezra is joining Function Health
From day one, our mission at Ezra has been to detect cancer early for everyone. To achieve this mission we've created the fastest, most accurate, most affordable Full Body MRI in the world. For the past few years, my dream has been to create a $500 Full Body MRI and make it widely available. Today, that dream becomes reality.
I'm absolutely thrilled to announce that Ezra has been acquired by Function Health. Together, we're introducing the world's first $500 Full Body MRI.
This breakthrough is possible thanks to Ezra's FDA-cleared AI technology that helps reduce MRI scanning time, combined with Function's enormous scale that enables cost efficiencies. As one company, we're passing the entirety of these savings to consumers.
Before Ezra, full-body MRIs typically cost up to $20,000. We were the first company to ever launch a $2,500 full-body MRI in the United States back in 2019. And now, we're the first and only company in the world to offer a $500 Full Body MRI. That's a 40x reduction in price since I started Ezra seven years ago.
Over the past seven years, the incredible Ezra team has rolled out our scans at 100 facilities in almost 40 cities across the United States. We recently launched in London, UK, our first international location. We received FDA-clearance for three breakthrough AIs. Most importantly, we've scanned tens of thousands of people and have helped 6% of our members identify potential cancer. We have countless stories from customers who got an Ezra scan, found cancer, received treatment, and are now cancer free. It is for every single one of these stories, that my team and I have worked tirelessly on building Ezra.
Function Health pioneered affordable, comprehensive lab testing with over 160 tests at 2,000+ locations nationwide, serving hundreds of thousands of members. It is an incredible business, with a phenomenal team, and Jonathan Swerdlin, co-founder & CEO of Function, is the most ambitious entrepreneur I've encountered in my career.
By combining lab testing with imaging and by making our scans affordable, we're giving you a 360° view of your health, tracked over time. Lab tests show your biology and imaging shows your anatomy, letting you get a comprehensive look inside your body and gain a deep understanding of your health. In a broken healthcare system that catches disease too late, this changes everything. It's the new standard of care for health.
Building Ezra has been the privilege of a lifetime. Like all startups, our journey has been filled with extraordinary highs and challenging lows. I am thankful to the 37 investors who believed in me over the years, and to my 42 colleagues who have helped build Ezra. You know who you are, and I am thankful to you all.
Our new $500 scan is now available to Function members at nearly 100 Ezra partner locations, with expansion to 1,000+ locations planned for the coming months. Function lab testing is already accessible at 2,200 Quest Diagnostics locations nationwide. You can learn more at ezra.com/function.
Tell everyone you love: the future of preventative health is finally here.
To 100 healthy years,
Emi
