I cough my way through this episode of Health in 2 Point 00 in his original interview sweater. There’s $60m for Quartet (mental health), Ribbon Health gets $43.5m to fix provider lists, Lyn Health reinvents the medical group with $10m (sort of), Medallion gets $30m to fix cross-state line provider credentialing & Safely You gets $30m to use AI to prevent falls in nursing homes. -Matthew Holt
#Healthin2Point00, Episode 214 | One Medical acquires Iora, plus funding for HumanFirst & many more
Today on Health in 2 Point 00, Jess pokes fun at me because my primary care provider has acquired a Medicare provider – One Medical buys Iora Health for $2.1 billion in stock. This deal is curious because these are two very different organizations. Next, HumanFirst (formerly Elektra Labs) raises $12 million in a Series A, bringing their total to $15 million, working on distributed clinical trials. Medallion raises $20 million in a Series A to address barriers for digital health providers around state licensing rules, and Aunt Bertha raises $27 million working on the social determinants of health and getting social care resources to patients. Finally, Grand Rounds and Doctor on Demand acquire Included Health, an LGBTQ+ focused care navigation platform. —Matthew Holt
