Nest Health Raises $22.5M Series A to Expand In-Home and Virtual Care for Medicaid Families

Nest Health, a New Orleans–based healthcare technology provider focused on delivering in‑home and virtual whole‑family care for Medicaid populations, has announced the successful close of a $22.5 million Series A funding round as it prepares to scale its clinical offerings and expand into new markets across the United States. This latest financing reflects strong investor confidence in Nest Health’s innovative model of comprehensive medical, behavioral, and social care anchored in families’ homes and supported by technology, including artificial intelligence to help automate care delivery and improve operational efficiency.

The Series A round was backed by a diverse group of investors, including Socium Ventures, Amboy Street Ventures, Impact America Fund, Hopelab, University Growth Fund, and Luminary Impact Fund. Socium Ventures also joined Nest Health’s board of directors as part of the financing. These investors contribute a mix of growth‑stage capital, healthcare sector expertise, and impact‑oriented resources to support Nest Health’s expansion.

Nest Health’s Series A comes amid a series of capital raises over the past few years. In August 2025, the company announced a $12.5 million+ Series A tranche co‑led by returning investors 8VC and Blue Venture Fund, with participation from Alumni Ventures, Health 2047, and individual investor Nicholas Jarboe, among others. Nest also previously extended its seed financing with more than $4 million led by SpringTide, supported by Ochsner Ventures and Alumni Ventures, on the heels of an initial $15 million seed round from 2023.

Founded in 2021 by Dr. Rebekah Gee, a former Louisiana Secretary of Health, and Rebecca Kavoussi, MPH, Nest Health seeks to transform how primary care and wraparound services are delivered to high‑risk families on Medicaid by bringing care directly to their homes. The company’s integrated care model combines in‑home visits, virtual care, and 24/7 access to clinical support with a multidisciplinary team that includes primary care providers, mental health specialists, social support, and care coordination. By eliminating traditional barriers to access — such as multiple appointments, transportation challenges, and fragmented care — Nest Health aims to improve outcomes and reduce costs for families and partner payers.

Nest’s care delivery approach emphasizes longitudinal care that addresses medical, behavioral, and social needs within the context of the family unit rather than treating individuals in isolation. This model is designed to meet the unique needs of Medicaid populations, where access limitations and social determinants of health often contribute to poorer outcomes. With services ranging from primary care and vaccinations to mental health support, nutrition guidance, and chronic condition management, Nest Health’s platform is structured to provide comprehensive, continuous support throughout a family’s lifecycle.

Investor interest in Nest Health’s Series A round underscores the growing recognition of value‑based care models that emphasize preventive and holistic care, particularly for underserved communities. Socium Ventures’ involvement and board representation highlights the strategic confidence in Nest’s potential to improve health outcomes while generating cost efficiencies for Medicaid payers. Amboy Street Ventures characterized Nest’s model as operationally scalable and aligned with efforts to expand access to care for families, particularly in areas where traditional healthcare infrastructure falls short.

The fresh capital from the Series A will be used to deepen Nest Health’s clinical product suite, harness AI tools to streamline workflows and support care teams, and expand the company’s geographic footprint through existing and new payer partnerships. Nest plans to broaden its operations beyond its current presence in Louisiana and Arizona into additional states where families on Medicaid can benefit from integrated home-based care. The company also intends to grow its team and strengthen operations that support both in‑home and virtual care delivery.

Healthcare leaders and providers have increasingly emphasized the importance of addressing social and behavioral determinants of health alongside traditional medical care. Nest Health’s model, which blends personalized in‑home services with technology‑enabled care coordination, aims to reduce emergency room utilization, improve preventive care uptake like vaccinations, and enhance continuity of care for families who may otherwise face fragmented services.

As Nest Health moves into 2026 with a substantial Series A backing, it expects to accelerate its impact on Medicaid populations while demonstrating the value of integrated, family‑focused care. The combination of seasoned investors, a proven care delivery model, and a focus on growth through payer partnerships positions Nest Health to further innovate how comprehensive clinical and social support are delivered to families across the United States.
