We’re thrilled to announce that Zócalo Health has secured additional capital to enhance our rapidly growing Medicaid strategy. We are grateful to have the support Acumen America, Ganas Ventures, and several new and existing investors. Our team is doing incredible work across California, addressing the needs of some of the most complex members in MediCal. With this new funding, we are expanding our teams of Promotoras de Salud, Community Outreach Specialists, and Therapists. Additionally, we are actively seeking key leadership roles in Product, Community Outreach, Growth, and Strategic Partnerships. If you or someone you know is passionate about serving the Latinx community and building healthcare pa’ la gente, please reach out. ¡Vamos!

We recently added a new company to our health portfolio with an investment in Zócalo Health. Zócalo is a digital healthcare platform that provides Latinos with culturally competent and community-oriented care. Nearly 1-in-5 Latinos are uninsured and 58% say they prefer a Spanish speaking doctor. Co-founders Erik Cardenas and Mariza H. started Zócalo to give the Latino community simpler access to healthcare. The start-up provides patients access to primary care, behavioral health, social services, care coordination, complex care management, and urgent care. The company uses community health workers to engage and build trust with Latino patients and help Medicaid payors—31.4% of Medicaid beneficiaries nationwide identify as Hispanic—better serve a large and underserved demographic. At Acumen America, we are always looking for companies with a specific focus on impact. Zócalo’s vision aligns with our goals to increase access to healthcare for a growing and historically marginalized population by leveraging tech-enabled solutions with a community focus. Zócalo currently operates in Texas, California, and Washington and is looking to expand to more states. Learn more about Zócalo at: https://www.zocalo.health/
