“The state of maternal health in the United States is abysmal,” said Dr. Rebekah Gee, an obstetrician-gynecologist in Louisiana. “In the developed world, Louisiana has the worst outcomes for women having babies.” cbsn.ws/45C4W3t

When we started Nest at 8VC, many were skeptical you could build a viable business offering primary care to low income Medicaid families. Turns out you can. Our year 1 results show $150 PMPM savings, 60% ER visit reduction, and 95+ NPS. Families love Nest and we love families.

2/ The solution is not more bureaucracy or more waste. But one big part of the solution is: the house call. Combining innovation with one of medicine’s oldest practices will save thousands of lives — and billions of taxpayer dollars.

3/ Nest Health serves thousands of parents and children in Louisiana today and the results are outstanding: Nest has reduced ER visits by 60%, gotten kids preventative screenings, and driven over $1,800 in annual cost savings per patient—money that can be returned to taxpayers.

4/ When @8VC helped Rebekah Gee co-found mission-driven Nest Health, people said it wouldn’t work. “You can’t build a sustainable business delivering primary care to low-income families on Medicaid.” But the results are in: They were wrong.

8VC 5/ The truth: when we reward healthcare providers for the value they create, innovators can build businesses around improving health outcomes while spending less. Innovation, incentives, accountability, competition - it works!

8VC 6/ Proud of Sebastian Caliri and Rebekah Gee, and the Nest Health team for their bold action that gets vulnerable families treated — and proving the skeptics wrong! This is inspiring stuff. Bullish 🇺🇸. vimeo.com/1047243839/57d…

Immensely proud to back Rebekah Gee MD & Nest Health and tackle the challenge of providing quality primary care to Medicaid families. Nest combines innovative, prevention-focused care with the tried and true house call for better outcomes and big savings, as Dr. Gee explains:

Dear Elon, At Nest Health we are proud of our impact on families. We know that health starts at home. As you consider cuts please avoid those to Medicaid's children and parents - these will end up costing far more than any potential savings

This is the work of none other than Rebekah Gee MD! After serving as health secretary, Rebekah joined us at 8VC to build Nest Health. A lot of people were skeptical about a Medicaid primary care business, but we're now serving nearly 30,000 members across two states.

Agree with my friend Kody, former Secretary of Health for NC, that Medicaid cuts would crush rural hospitals and disproportionately impact red states. The uphill battle to cut entitlements politi.co/4jL6e3F via POLITICO

The notion that one must work to get a cancer screening, or treatment for brain cancer, or reproductive health care is unethical and wrongheaded. Our people are America's most precious resource and they should be cared for and treasured without preconditions.
