Who we are

Gather Health delivers Social Primary Care to older adults. Through our unique and differentiated care model and proprietary technology, Gather Health’s solution drives substantial care outcomes by addressing the whole person needs of our target demographic: older, dual eligible adults, the fastest growing government segment. To address the needs of these clinically and socially complex patients, Gather Health’s Social Primary Care solution is comprehensive and wholistic in nature, encompassing care and community within the four walls of Gather Health Centers and in the homes of its patients.

Gather’s model achieves superior care by individualizing care and is reinforced by a three-prong approach: a unique care model quarterbacked by PCPs and supported by multi‑disciplinary care teams, tailored Social Care Plans that are led by Gather Guides and facilitated by deeply rooted community partners, and a proprietary “Tech Enabled Home Model.” Founded in 2022 and born out of the Healthcare Foundry Portfolio, Gather Health is addressing a $1 trillion market in primary care for older adults.

Today, Gather Health operates in Massachusetts and is working with a multitude of payer partners on aligning value‑based care economics to deliver integrated care. Gather’s leadership team has a track record of building and scaling innovative primary care platforms focused on vulnerable populations, including Village

MD and Commonwealth Care Alliance. Gather has raised $30M backed by Maverick Ventures, Khosla, and HC9 Ventures.

Similar roles in medical clinic settings would have titles such as “Practice Administrators” or “Practice Coordinators.” We call this role “Practice Operations Partner” because we see every member of our care team to be an equal level partner who contributes their unique sets of talents. The Practice Operations Partner will be the “face of our clinic,” the first person that our patients would interact with upon entering the facility.

The individual will greet our patients as they walk in the door for their scheduled appointments, or to attend a social event. The administrative duties will include handling inbound/outbound calls, preparing insurance claims, handling the mail/faxes, coordinating transportation, etc. The Practice Operations Partner will work collaboratively with our primary care providers, patient liaisons, EMTs, and fellow clinic administrators, as part of the care‑team model.
