# Carbon Health

> Carbon Health is an American chain of tech-enabled primary and urgent care clinics that pairs brick-and-mortar visits with telemedicine, all running on its own AI-powered electronic health record. Founded in 2015 in San Francisco by Udemy co-founder Eren Bali, it set out to make seeing a doctor feel as simple as using a consumer app - same-day appointments, transparent records, and a single platform tying diagnostics, virtual visits, and prescriptions together. After raising more than $600 million and scaling past 100 clinics, the company filed for Chapter 11 in February 2026 to restructure its debt while continuing to operate.
