, a tech-enabled, community-based primary care provider, today announced the close of $15 million in Series A funding, bringing the total raised to date to $22.75 million. The oversubscribed round was led by EO Ventures, with participation from Talipot and existing investors Vamos Ventures, Animo Ventures, Acumen America, Sorenson Ventures, BarronKent, and Kapor Center.

，一家技术驱动、基于社区的初级保健服务提供商，今天宣布完成了1500万美元的A轮融资，截至目前总融资额达到2275万美元。这轮融资超额认购，由EO Ventures领投，Talipot以及现有投资者Vamos Ventures、Animo Ventures、Acumen America、Sorenson Ventures、BarronKent和Kapor Center参与跟投。

The company will use the funds to accelerate nationwide expansion, scale its community-based workforce and deepen partnerships with health plans..

公司将利用这笔资金加速全国扩张，扩大其基于社区的员工队伍，并加深与健康计划的合作伙伴关系。

Funding comes as health plans face growing pressure to manage a small segment of members who drive a disproportionate share of healthcare costs. These patients, with complex medical, behavioral, and social needs, are historically difficult to engage in care. Zócalo Health is built specifically for this population, combining community-based care teams with virtual clinical services to drive sustained engagement, improve outcomes and reduce total cost of care within value-based frameworks..

资金到位之际，健康计划面临着越来越大的压力，需要管理一小部分成员，他们占据了不成比例的医疗成本。这些患者有着复杂的医疗、行为和社会需求，历史上很难参与到护理中。Zócalo Health正是为这一人群打造，结合社区护理团队与虚拟临床服务，以推动持续参与、改善结果，并在价值导向的框架内降低总体护理成本。

'Zócalo Health has built a care model that performs in one of the most complex segments of healthcare,' said Roland Fryer, Founding Partner of EO Ventures and Harvard Professor of Economics. 'It is demonstrating that community-based care, paired with the right operating model can scale and deliver meaningful results.'.

“Zócalo Health建立了一个在医疗保健最复杂领域之一中表现卓越的护理模式，”EO Ventures创始合伙人兼哈佛大学经济学教授罗兰·弗莱尔表示，“它正在证明，基于社区的护理与正确的运营模式相结合，可以扩大规模并带来有意义的成果。”

Over the past year, Zócalo Health has demonstrated strong operating performance and early product-market fit. The company grew revenue approximately 4x year-over-year, expanded from two regional health plan partnerships in 2024 to more than a dozen in 2025, and is entering new markets across multiple states.

在过去的一年中，Zócalo Health展现了强劲的运营表现和早期的产品市场契合。公司收入同比增长了约4倍，从2024年的两家区域性健康计划合作伙伴扩展到2025年的十几家，并正在进入多个州的新市场。

The model has maintained high member retention, frequent monthly engagement and patient satisfaction scores that significantly exceed industry benchmarks..

该模型保持了高会员留存率、每月频繁的参与度以及显著超过行业基准的患者满意度评分。

A Model Built for Engagement and Retention

一个为参与和留存而构建的模型

Zócalo Health is able to achieve outstanding outcomes for patients and health plans by organizing care around community health workers (CHWs), or promotoras de salud, who are embedded in the communities they serve. These teams are integrated with primary care providers, behavioral health clinicians, and care coordinators, enabling continuous engagement beyond traditional clinic settings.

Zócalo Health 通过围绕社区健康工作者（CHWs），或称健康促进者（promotoras de salud）组织护理，这些人员深植于他们所服务的社区中，从而为患者和健康计划取得了卓越的成果。这些团队与初级保健提供者、行为健康临床医生和护理协调员相融合，能够在传统诊所环境之外实现持续的参与。

Notably, as patients have reported increased stress and anxiety, behavioral health has become a standout component of Zócalo Health's model. Screening, care coordination and ongoing support are embedded into care delivery workflows, ensuring that behavioral health needs are addressed alongside medical and social needs from the start..

值得注意的是，由于患者报告的压力和焦虑增加，行为健康已成为Zócalo Health模式的突出组成部分。筛查、护理协调和持续支持被嵌入到护理交付工作流程中，确保从一开始就将行为健康需求与医疗和社会需求一起得到解决。

This integrated approach is designed specifically for members who are historically difficult to reach and retain. By focusing on proactive outreach, frequent touchpoints and trust-based relationships,  Zócalo Health successfully drives adherence and reduces avoidable utilization.

这种综合方法专为历史上难以接触和保留的成员设计。通过专注于积极的外展、频繁的接触点和基于信任的关系，Zócalo Health成功提高了依从性并减少了可避免的资源使用。

'We built Zócalo Health to consistently engage the patients the system misses,' said Erik Cardenas, Co-Founder and CEO. 'Our model is designed around sustained engagement and outcomes. When you connect and engage RSS high-need members, you change both clinical outcomes and cost.'

“我们创建了Zócalo Health，以持续吸引医疗系统忽略的患者，”联合创始人兼首席执行官埃里克·卡德纳斯表示。“我们的模式旨在实现持续的参与和成果。当你联系并吸引RSS高需求成员时，你将改变临床结果和成本。”

Technology as a Scale Lever

技术作为规模杠杆

As much as Zócalo Health has invested in developing personal relationships within communities, its sophisticated technology platform underlies operations for seamless care delivery. Its platform leverages AI to support and extend the capacity of frontline teams, allowing them to serve more members without sacrificing quality, while also improving how patients connect to care and community resources.

尽管索卡洛健康公司在发展社区内的人际关系方面投入了大量精力，其精密的技术平台仍是实现无缝医疗服务的基础。该平台利用人工智能支持并扩展前线团队的能力，使他们能够在不降低质量的情况下服务更多成员，同时改善患者连接医疗和社区资源的方式。

The platform equips members with better visibility into their coverage and eligibility as well; it supports them alongside their CHWs in navigating Medicaid redetermination and evolving eligibility requirements..

该平台还使成员能够更好地了解他们的覆盖范围和资格；它与社区卫生工作者一起支持他们应对医疗补助重新确认和不断变化的资格要求。

Aligned with Health Plans, Built for Scale

与健康计划保持一致，为规模而建

Zócalo Health partners with Medicaid managed care organizations, including Anthem Blue Cross and Health Net, to deliver services aligned with broader state-led initiatives such as CalAIM across California. These programs are shaping a new blueprint for whole-person, community-based care that can be extended to other states over time..

Zócalo Health与包括Anthem Blue Cross和Health Net在内的Medicaid管理护理机构合作，在整个加州提供与更广泛州主导计划（如CalAIM）相一致的服务。这些项目正在为全人、社区为基础的护理塑造一个新的蓝图，随着时间推移可以扩展到其他州。

The company's growth has been driven by its ability to engage high-risk members, maintain strong retention, and operate with capital efficiency while expanding across geographies.

该公司的增长得益于其吸引高风险成员、保持强劲留存率以及在跨地域扩张时以资本效率运营的能力。

'Health plans are under pressure to deliver quality care for their most complex members, even as budgets tighten,' said Mariza Hardin, Co-Founder of Zócalo Health. 'We've built a model that meets that challenge directly. This next phase is about scaling with discipline while maintaining both stellar performance and our deeply personal, community-driven touch.'.

“即使预算收紧，健康计划也面临着为其最复杂的成员提供高质量护理的压力，”Zócalo Health联合创始人玛里扎·哈丁表示。“我们已经建立了一个直接应对这一挑战的模式。下一个阶段的重点是在保持卓越表现和我们深入个人、社区驱动的特点的同时，以纪律性进行扩展。”
