Cityblock Health, a Brooklyn, N.Y.-based healthcare provider for lower-income communities, closed a $160m in Series C funding round at a valuation of over $1 billion.

The round, which brings total equity funding to $300m, was led by new investor General Catalyst, with participation from crossover investor Wellington Management and support from major existing investors, including Kinnevik AB, Maverick Ventures, Thrive Capital, Redpoint Ventures, and more.

The company intends to use the funds for national expansion in caring for Medicaid and dually-eligible communities, to attract and onboard talent across its product, engineering, data science, clinical, and business operations, to launch new service lines, and to continue investing in its proprietary technology platform, Commons.
