Healthy growth

The idea for DAS Health came to David Schlaifer during a family conversation.

In the early 2000s, Schlaifer wanted to start a back-end focused business for entrepreneurs. The strategy was to develop software that simplified operations for entrepreneurs, allowing them to focus on the creative side of their business.

Schlaifer's brother, a cardiologist, loved the business idea and had one suggestion: Target the medical field. Schlaifer listened, and Tampa-based DAS Health, which offers health and IT management for health care entities, was founded in 2003. Schlaifer is now president and CEO of the company.
