Rural Primary Care

Value-based care model bringing primary care and chronic disease management to rural communities through in-home and virtual visits.

About

Homeward Health is a Minneapolis-based healthcare company that provides primary care and chronic disease management to rural populations who lack access to local providers, using a hybrid model combining in-home clinical visits, telehealth, and community-based care navigators. Rural Americans face significantly worse health outcomes than urban populations due to provider shortages, long travel distances to care, and lower rates of insurance coverage. Homeward deploys care teams that travel to rural areas to see patients in their homes and community settings, supplemented by telehealth for follow-up and specialist access, creating continuity of care that most rural residents cannot access. The company operates under value-based care contracts that align incentives around keeping patients healthy and out of the hospital rather than fee-for-service volume. Founded in 2021, Homeward raised over $50M from investors including General Catalyst, Tiger Global, and Andreessen Horowitz Bio. The company targets the significant rural health gap and the growing population of Medicare Advantage plans seeking to improve outcomes and reduce costs for rural beneficiaries.
