Zócalo Health Raises $15 Million Series A to Expand Community-Based Primary Care Model

New updates have been reported about Zócalo Health.

Zócalo Health has secured $15 million in an oversubscribed Series A round led by EO Ventures, lifting total funding to $22.75 million and providing capital to accelerate its national rollout. The tech-enabled, community-based primary care provider plans to use the funds to scale its community health workforce, deepen partnerships with Medicaid managed care plans, and enter additional states.

The company focuses on high-need members with complex medical, behavioral, and social issues who are costly and historically hard for health plans to engage, delivering a model that blends community health workers with virtual clinical teams to improve outcomes and reduce total cost of care. Over the past year, Zócalo Health reports roughly 4x year-over-year revenue growth, expansion from two health plan partners in 2024 to more than a dozen in 2025, and strong member retention and satisfaction metrics that surpass industry benchmarks.

Zócalo Health’s operating model centers on community health workers embedded in local neighborhoods, integrated with primary care, behavioral health clinicians, and care coordinators to maintain frequent touchpoints beyond traditional clinics. Behavioral health has emerged as a key driver of engagement, with screening and ongoing support built directly into workflows so that mental health needs are addressed alongside medical and social risk factors.

Technology underpins the company’s ability to scale, with an AI-enabled platform that increases frontline capacity, streamlines navigation to care and community resources, and helps members understand coverage and eligibility, including during Medicaid redeterminations. Zócalo Health already partners with major Medicaid managed care organizations such as Anthem Blue Cross and Health Net, aligning its services with initiatives like California’s CalAIM that emphasize whole-person, community-based care.

Management positions this funding round as a catalyst for disciplined growth, emphasizing performance in value-based arrangements and capital efficiency as it extends its model to more markets. For payers under pressure to manage costs in their most complex populations, Zócalo Health aims to offer a scalable, engagement-driven solution that can be replicated across states while preserving its community-centric approach.
