Who is Nest Health?

As the first value-based care provider built for families, Nest is on a mission to make comprehensive medical, behavioral, and social care radically accessible to America’s highest risk families. Nest’s first-of-its-kind family-based, in-home, and virtual care model includes primary adult and pediatric care, mental health and nutrition support, vaccinations and labs, same-and-next-day acute visits, chronic condition and transitions of care management, social services and navigation, and more. In Louisiana, Nest’s headquarters and first market, Nest’s innovative model has resulted in partnerships with two of the state’s leading health plans, unlocking care for thousands of families across the state. Nest’s early success has led to national traction across states and payers, laying the groundwork for future expansion.

Nest and its leaders have won multiple awards including Rock Health’s Next-Gen Pediatric Innovations, New York Times Top Five Who Spread Hope, New Orleans City Business Power 50, and CB Insights Digital 150. Additionally, Nest has become a prominent thought and brand leader garnering national attention from outlets such as 60 Minutes, Business Insider, NYTimes, Fierce Healthcare, Axios and others. More recently they were recognized on Inc.’s Female Founder 500 List for 2025. On a local level, Nest has been featured on all of Louisiana’s top programs including WGNO, WWL, WWNO (New Orleans NPR), WRKF (Baton Rouge NPR), and The Times-Picayune.

Founded in 2022 by former Secretary of Health of Louisiana and practicing OB-GYN, Dr. Rebekah Gee, and Rebecca Kavoussi, former President at Landmark Health, Nest has raised a historical Seed round of over $20M from top healthcare and industry investors including 8VC, Blue Venture Fund, SpringTide Health, Alumni Ventures, Gaingels, MVP, Health 2047, Ochsner Louisiana Investment Fund, Tulane Ventures, and others.
