Bluebird Kids Health
Bluebird Kids Health is a Boston-founded pediatric primary care company delivering value-based, tech-enabled medicine to children in underserved Florida communities. It combines physical and behavioral health under one roof, offers 24/7 access and telehealth, and gets paid to keep kids well rather than per visit. Led by former Landmark Health CEO Chris Johnson, it raised $31.5M in 2025 to expand its network of NCQA-recognized clinics serving roughly 20,000 mostly Medicaid-enrolled patients.
Danish Qureshi
Danish Qureshi is the founder and CEO of Zarminali Pediatrics, a nationwide pediatric multispecialty group he started in 2024 to fix the fragmented way American children get care. Before Zarminali, he co-founded LifeStance Health, scaling it into the country's largest outpatient mental health provider with thousands of clinicians across dozens of states before it went public. A former Bain consultant and private equity operator who cut his teeth in wound care, Qureshi has raised roughly $150M for Zarminali and grown it to nearly 30 clinics across eight states in under two years.
Adhera Health
Adhera Health builds an empathic AI 'precision digital companion' for families managing pediatric chronic conditions - growth hormone therapy, type 1 diabetes, childhood obesity, autoimmune and oncology cases. The platform pairs behavioral science with personalization technology to support caregivers, improve treatment adherence, and surface what happens between clinical visits.
Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson is the founder and CEO of Bluebird Kids Health, a value-based pediatric primary care company building clinics in 'pediatric care deserts' where children, many of them on Medicaid, lack access to a regular doctor. After scaling Landmark Health's in-home senior care from 12 to 38 states ahead of its acquisition by Optum, Johnson partnered with venture studio Juxtapose and veteran pediatrician Dr. Shannon Fox-Levine to bring the same outcomes-aligned model to kids. Bluebird now serves more than 20,000 patients, raised $31.5 million in 2025, and is expanding across Florida.
Nest Health
Nest Health is a New Orleans-based value-based care company that brings primary medical, behavioral, and social care directly into the homes of families on Medicaid. Founded in 2021 by Dr. Rebekah Gee and Rebecca Kavoussi, the company offers 24/7 in-home and virtual visits at no additional cost to eligible families, treating the whole household - children, parents, and postpartum mothers - under one roof. Its model has reduced emergency room use, doubled vaccination rates, and delivered a two-to-one return for payer partners across Louisiana and Arizona.
Zarminali Pediatrics
Zarminali Pediatrics is a venture-backed, multi-specialty pediatric care group building purpose-designed clinics that bundle primary care, urgent care, specialty care, behavioral health, and telehealth under one coordinated roof. Founded in 2024 by healthcare operator Danish Qureshi after his own family struggled to coordinate care for a child with an autoimmune disorder, the company has grown to roughly 28 clinics across 8 states and raised $110M in Series A funding (about $150M total) to fix what it calls a fragmented, broken pediatric system.
Ricardo Berrios
Ricardo C. Berrios is the Co-Founder and CEO of Adhera Health, a Santa Cruz-based digital health company building AI-powered companion platforms for families managing pediatric chronic conditions. With 25+ years across technology, healthcare, and venture management, he is converging behavioral science, personalized AI, and clinical research to extend pediatric care beyond the clinic walls - helping families of children with Type 1 diabetes, growth hormone disorders, and other chronic conditions build healthier routines and maintain treatment adherence.
