Established in 2021, Healthcare in Action (HIA) is a “street-based” medical group that utilizes housing navigation and care management to support individuals experiencing homelessness by providing them wrap-around services such as healthcare, behavioral health, and substance use counseling.
One of the unique features of HIA are their mobile health clinics, which travel to various community locations, providing healthcare services to homeless individuals. Each mobile clinic is staffed by healthcare professionals, including medical providers, nurses, community health workers, and social workers, who provide care to individuals in need. The overarching goals of HIA include improving the health of unhoused populations as well as helping them obtain sustainable housing.
We currently have teams in six counties: Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside and San Mateo.
HIA is a fully owned subsidiary of SCAN Group.

Welcome Health is a new, recently announced medical group providing best in class care to older adults in the comfort of their own home, both in person and through telehealth and emerging digital health technology. Grounded in the underutilized science and art of geriatric medicine, we seek to remove the barriers that older adults face in their pursuit of what matters most to them. Our philosophy is based on four underlying principles: 1) deliver the highest quality of care; 2) prioritize the patient experience; 3) provide personalized care centered on the patient’s goals; and 4) leverage a team-based, holistic model of approach to care delivery.
Welcome Health is an independent primary care medical group, backed by the SCAN Group, whose holdings include SCAN Health Plan, one of the nation’s largest not-for-profit Medicare Advantage plans.

myPlace Health was founded in 2021 by mission-driven healthcare leaders and organizations (including SCAN Group and Commonwealth Care Alliance) that are committed to drastically improving health outcomes, quality and experience for vulnerable older adults and frail seniors.
myPlace Health is an integrated care delivery organization that specializes in providing personalized care and coverage to older adults who wish to remain safely living in their homes and communities for as long as possible, rather than living in a nursing facility.
Our mission is simple: to enable older adults to live the independent lives they deserve. The primary ways in which we pursue our mission are through capitated arrangements with government payers, such as Medicare and Medicaid under the PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) model, and as a value-based provider working in partnership with local health plans.

The Josephine Collective is a women-led group of angel investors co-investing small amounts (as little as $1,000 per deal) in early-stage startups across the United States. We help make angel investing accessible for all, but we are especially focused on helping women and people of color diversify their strategies and ease into a part of the investment world that can generate incredible returns. We do this by using a unique structure that allows us to invest in high potential startups with the lowest possible fee structure.
For Investors
Unlike an angel syndicate or venture fund, investors do not give the Josephine Collective funding to invest. Instead, we meet founders, learn about their visions, their market opportunities, their guiding principles and present them to our group of investors who individually decide whether they want to participate in an investment. When there is enough interest to meet the minimum check size, we make an investment in the startup, coming on as a single line on the cap table.
This allows the Josephine Collective to:
Access hot deals that individual investors may not be able to reach on their own.
Protects founders from having too many investors on their cap tables (which creates both legal and financial burdens on both sides).
Keep our operating costs very low, as we do not have to spend thousands on special purpose vehicles for each deal.
Join our Angel Group
For Founders
We are a group of at least 51% women investors and people of color, bringing unique personal, professional, and funding perspectives to each deal we consider. For founders who care about representation on their cap tables, we are an excellent partner. But we’re more than just money. Many of our angels are founders, seasoned startup employees, service providers, and industry veterans with deep domain expertise to help connect you with the mentorship, talent, and potential customers you need to grow.
