Director of Partnership Operations

Habitat Health was founded in 2023 to deliver fully integrated health and social care to older adults on Medicare or Medicaid who wish to remain living independently in their homes and communities. The company operates its model through the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly ("PACE") in collaboration with local community partners. For these older adults, Habitat Health has the opportunity to significantly improve clinical outcomes, extend lives and preserve families - whether of kin or of choice. More than 2.2 million Americans could benefit from being enrolled in a PACE program, yet less than 5% of eligible Americans are enrolled today. Habitat Health has been designed to address challenges that have kept the PACE program subscale. The company will serve older adults in partnership with local care partners, beginning first in California with Kaiser Permanente, and then nationally. The company is supported by Kaiser Permanente, Town Hall Ventures, and New Enterprise Associates. For more information, go to .
