Our Story

Built from a hospital bed.

Three blood clots. A CDC layoff. And one question: who's carrying that specimen?

Jamarr JT Lee, founder of Essential Care Couriers
01

The bed

Three blood clots in my lung, the same week I lost my CDC job. Every few hours a nurse drew my blood, bagged it and sent it off.

02

The question

I was a medical courier in high school. Lying there, I wondered who was carrying my blood, and whether anyone could prove where it went.

03

The build

The Air Force and 15 years in IT taught me to build the system first. So I built a courier company that won't close a delivery without a signature.

Because every specimen is someone's answer.
