Corner Health Announces $32.5 Million in Seed and Series A Financing to Help Independent Clinicians Rebuild Primary Care
Corner Health, a company designed to rebuild the healthcare system by empowering Nurse Practitioners (NPs) to start and scale their own local primary care practices, announced today it has raised $32.5 million in Seed and Series A financing. Their recent Series A was led by Oak HC/FT, with participation from existing investors First Round Capital and Zigg Capital. The investment follows a period of rapid growth for Corner Health, which has established a network of more than 70 provider-owned primary care practices. Corner Health is the fastest-growing primary care network in Arizona and Washington and has enabled 35,000+ patient visits in the past year.
The funding comes at a pivotal moment for healthcare. Despite unprecedented investment in AI, more than 100 million Americans still lack access to a primary care provider, clinicians are burning out at record rates, and patient visits continue to get shorter. Corner Health is taking the opposite approach: using AI to create more time for the provider-patient relationship, not less.
"I grew up watching my mom run her own private practice, and I saw firsthand how powerful it is when a clinician owns the relationship with their patient," said Lava Sunder, co-founder and CEO of Corner Health. "The tragedy is that the economics of healthcare have made that model increasingly difficult to sustain. Healthcare has spent decades pushing clinicians into larger and larger systems, often at the expense of time with patients. Via Corner Health’s network, the most common word that appears in patient reviews is 'listen.' When providers have more time, patients feel heard."
