Operators by Trade —with National-ScaleResults

Ten prior healthcare exits across the bench (5 NASDAQ IPOs, 5 M&As). A $15B nationwide healthcare initiative led on the operating side.

Senior advisors — a former senior economic advisor to the FDA and CMS (and ex-Acting Chair of the White House CEA), and a former Dell Global Healthcare CTO.

Why we exist

The shift of care into the home is inevitable. We are building the platform to make it work.

YCare is building the national infrastructure to deliver healthcare innovation where patients live — combining licensed home-health agencies, advanced digital-health technology, AI-enabled workflows, and clinical excellence to bring the latest care into the homes of Medicare, Medicaid, and high-need populations.

Join us on this journey.

We are inviting operators, advisors, clinicians, technologists, and capital partners who share our principles to help us build YCare the right way — from the very beginning.

How we build

Five principles that guide every decision

What we will not compromise on. What we expect of every partnership, every hire, every acquisition.

01

Scientific Rigor & Outcomes

Every clinical, technology, and operating decision grounded in evidence. We generate real-world evidence from the home setting because healthcare must be measured by what works for patients — not by what sounds good in a deck.

02

Passion for Patients

We exist for the patients the system has historically underserved — Medicare, Medicaid, and high-need populations. Every member of YCare is hired for capability and for the conviction that better care for these patients is the work that matters most.

03

Compliance as Foundation

The home-health sector is shaped by long compliance cycles. We build EVV, billing rigor, and regulatory transparency into the foundation — not as a layer added later. This is how we earn the trust of health systems, payers, and CMS.

04

AI-Native Operations

YCare is AI-native from the ground up. Care coordination, clinical workflows, patient engagement, and quality measurement are built with AI as core — not as add-on. We integrate the best digital-health tools across the industry into a single deployment platform that scales.

05

Partnership First

We do not compete with health systems, payers, or providers — we partner with them. YCare is built to be the partner of choice for institutions serving patients beyond their walls, with the latest technology and the highest standards of care.
