Company mission
Cityblock's mission is to reduce costs, improve the experience and the quality of care, and transform the health of communities.
Our take
Cityblock Health partners with local health insurance providers and professional health practitioners to bring better healthcare to marginalized populations in the US with complex, unmet needs.
While there’s been a groundswell of startups in healthcare, and in particular the value based healthcare space, Cityblock Health sets itself apart through its focus on underserved communities in the US, rather than the wealthy. In doing so, it is helping to drive equity at a time when people need it most.
It has attracted impressive funding and expanded its services into new cities and states. The clear goal is to keep up the momentum, with the company publicly stating its aim to have 10 million members by 2030. Since investing its 2021 series C funding into the accelerated deployment of its community and value-based care model, it has opened a new office in Charlotte North Carolina.
