Our story, our mission
Explore our history and vision to optimize healthcare workforce management.
LastMinute was born in 2016 when founder Leo Dassa accompanied his brother Dr. Yonathan Dassa to Dana Farber Cancer Institute for chemotherapy. Witnessing firsthand the critical challenges nurses faced, Leo was moved to create a solution. Dr. Yonathan's words, “My job is easy. I show up, and the nurses do the rest,” became the catalyst for what would become LastMinute.
Under the guidance of Chief Nursing Officer Leslie BSN, RN, DNP, and combined with proprietary AI and predictive analytics, LastMinute was created to automate healthcare scheduling, addressing the critical need for better staffing solutions. Our mission is clear: to ensure safe staffing levels and improve patient care through innovative technology.
“My job is easy. I show up, and the nurses do the rest.”
