Our story , our mission

Explore our history and vision to optimize healthcare workforce management.

LastMinute was born out of a personal experience in 2016 when Leo Dassa, our founder and CEO, moved to Boston. Every weekend, Leo accompanied his brother, Dr. Yonathan Dassa, to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, during his chemotherapy treatment. Yoni said it best - “My job is easy. I show up and the nurses to do the rest.” This approach and experience under the guidance of our Chief Nursing Officer, Leslie BSN, RN, DNP-S, allowed LastMinute to be born. Using our proprietary AI and predictive analytics, LastMinute automate healthcare scheduling by setting all of your healthcare scheduling challenges on auto-pilot.

My job is easy. I show up, and the nurses do the rest.
