Nest Health has closed a $22.5 million Series A funding round to expand its in-home care model for families on Medicaid. New investors include Socium Ventures, Amboy Street Ventures, Impact America Fund, Hopelab, University Growth Fund, and Luminary Impact Fund. Socium Ventures will join the board of directors.
The company provides medical, behavioral, and social care through in-home visits and virtual care for families on Medicaid. Nearly half of children and postpartum women on Medicaid do not receive recommended care, according to the company.
“Getting to one doctor, let alone five doctors, can be overwhelming for so many families,” said Tim Howe, partner at Socium Ventures. “Nest has demonstrated that bringing care directly into the home can help improve health outcomes and cost savings.”
The funding will support expansion of clinical products, AI-powered automation of care workflows, and geographic growth through payer partnerships. Nest currently operates in Louisiana and Arizona.
“Amboy Street Ventures invests in companies that fundamentally expand access to care for women and families,” said Carli Sapir at Amboy Street Ventures. “Nest’s model succeeds because it delivers comprehensive medical, behavioral, and social care directly into the home—where it’s most needed and most effective.”
Nest provides primary care, mental health and substance use treatment, social support including housing and utilities assistance, 24/7 clinical support access, and care coordination with specialists. The company uses AI to automate workflows around interactions between caregivers and families.
“The home environment is crucial for good health, and a healthy home is required to change generational health outcomes,” said Dr. Rebekah Gee, CEO and Founder of Nest Health. “Nest Health is determined to provide a new standard of care and concrete solutions for better health — and eliminate access barriers for the millions of American families who need an alternative care model.”
Nest reports a 2:1 return on investment for payer partners, a Net Promoter Score of +98, and reaching 75% of families for whom health plans had no working phone number. The company reports a 60% reduction in emergency room utilization, payer churn reduced by 55%, and vaccination rates double the state target in Louisiana.
In Arizona, 62% of Nest patients who received a flu shot this season did not receive one last year. Nest partners with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona Health Choice in Maricopa County and Mohave County.
Nest Health was founded by Dr. Rebekah Gee and is based in New Orleans in the United States.
