Healthcare Tech Firm IntusCare Taps Venture Capital Leader for Board Position

IntusCare, a technology provider specializing in PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) services, has appointed Marcus Whitney, founder and managing partner of Jumpstart Health Investors (JHI), to its Board of Directors. The appointment comes at a crucial time as the healthcare technology sector faces increasing pressure to improve care delivery for aging populations while addressing healthcare disparities.

Whitney's appointment is particularly significant given his track record in healthcare innovation and investment. As a founding partner of early-stage healthcare venture capital firm JHI, Whitney brings valuable expertise in identifying and scaling healthcare solutions that address care accessibility and equity – critical factors in serving the elderly and dual-eligible senior population that IntusCare targets.

The timing of this board addition aligns with IntusCare's recent expansion of its technology platform, including the launch of its EMR and practice management solution CareHub and its risk adjustment system IRIS. These tools are specifically designed for PACE and value-based care organizations, representing a focused approach to solving healthcare delivery challenges for elderly populations.

This strategic appointment could have broader implications for the healthcare technology sector, particularly in addressing the growing needs of an aging population. With Whitney's expertise in healthcare innovation and investment, IntusCare is positioning itself to potentially accelerate the development and deployment of technology solutions that could improve care delivery for one of healthcare's most vulnerable populations – dual-eligible seniors who are often both medically complex and socially vulnerable.

The move also reflects a growing trend in healthcare technology where companies are increasingly focusing on specialized solutions for specific healthcare delivery models like PACE, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. This specialization could lead to more effective and targeted healthcare solutions for elderly care providers and their patients.
