Cityblock Health CEO Toyin Ajayi will discuss human-centered healthcare at Disrupt

The healthcare industry is ripe for change. The idea of building a billion-dollar business by addressing the needs of marginalized communities might seem far-fetched until someone does it.

That is one of the reasons we are excited to announce that Dr. Toyin Ajayi, co-founder and CEO of Cityblock Health, will be joining us for a discussion at the event.

High-risk patients who receive their health insurance through Medicare and Medicaid are the ones Cityblock cares for. Better patient outcomes at a lower cost and fewer hospitalizations are what the goal is to deliver. Through a network of physicians and community outreach teams, they are able to do this.

Is the affordable, human-centered healthcare model working? According to investors, they think so. The company has raised almost a billion dollars and has a valuation of $6 billion.

We are looking forward to talking with her about the company's progress since she stepped into the CEO position. We want to know if the post-COVID situation exposed gaps in the healthcare system.

Entrepreneurs need unassailable hope, optimism and belief in a different, better future, especially in something as entrenched as healthcare, according to the CEO.

Cityblock Health is a tech-enabled, value-based healthcare provider for Medicaid, dually eligible and lower-income Medicare patients. Highly personalized medical care, behavioral health care and social services are delivered to members in neighborhoods where it's needed most by Cityblock.

Commonwealth Care Alliance is an integrated health plan and care- delivery system for people who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid. She oversaw multi-disciplinary teams of clinicians, community health workers and administrators.

She obtained her medical degree from the London School of Medicine. She practices primary care with a focus on patients with chronic, complex and end-of-life needs after completing her residency training.
