New York-based children’s mental health platform Fort Health raised $4.5 million from Blue Venture Fund, per Mobi Health News.
Fort Health was developed at Redesign Health in partnership with the Child Mind Institute, a nonprofit that focuses on helping children with mental health and learning disorders. The startup offers a platform that connects primary care and behavioral health providers to improve access to mental healthcare for children.
Fort Health is covered under Aetna, Optum/United Healthcare and Geisinger Health Plan commercial insurance in New Jersey. The company says it plans to expand to New York and other states this year.
The new funds will be used to drive the company’s market expansion.
