Founded in 2017, Cityblock Health is a value-based healthcare provider delivering integrated primary care, behavioral health, and social services to vulnerable populations, particularly Medicaid beneficiaries and people dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid in underserved urban and suburban communities.
The company operates through a dual model: Community-based hubs provide in-person care at physical locations, whilst a 24/7 virtual care service extends access remotely. Cityblock's Commons care platform coordinates care delivery across these touchpoints, enabling clinicians to manage both clinical needs and social determinants of health. The organization partners with health insurance companies and community organizations to scale its model.
Cityblock's approach centres on building trust through relationships and meeting patients where they are, rather than requiring patients to navigate fragmented systems. The integrated model aims to address the full spectrum of health and social needs that affect vulnerable populations, with care coordinated through technology to improve outcomes and efficiency under value-based contracting arrangements.
