Shanel Fields

Growing up on Long Island with a father who was a volunteer EMT, Shanel learned early on about the challenges faced by first responders. After graduating from Cornell, she worked at AT&T and Athenahealth, managing enterprise healthcare IT sales teams, before starting MD Ally to fix a critical and under-resourced piece of America’s healthcare infrastructure: 911. MD Ally connects non-emergency 911 callers to in-network virtual care, mental health, substance abuse, and other community resources.
