Carbon Health is an American chain of

telemedicine.[4][5]
It was founded in 2015 in San Francisco.

History

Carbon Health was founded in

software platform and mobile app for medical records, telehealth, doctor-patient messaging, and scheduling.[6] The team developed the platform by opening a private clinic that saw about 750 patients; at the time, their goal was to build software for medical practices.[7][8][9]

In 2017, Eren Bali was introduced to Caesar Djavaherian, an Iranian-American

urgent care clinics.[10] Djavaherian had experienced problems with electronic health record (EHR) systems, and he decided to pilot the Carbon Health software in his clinics.[11] In 2018, Carbon Health and Direct Urgent Care merged, and Caesar Djavaherian became the company's fourth co-founder.[12][13][14] Because of this merge, Carbon Health now owned 7 brick-and-mortar clinics in the San Francisco Bay Area.[4]

In 2017, Carbon Health had created a mobile app to communicate with directly with doctors, and an alternative to traditional EHR systems.[11]

In 2019, Carbon Health announced a

The Blackstone Group.[10][18]

By April 2021, Carbon Health had 49 physical location medical clinics, including 19 clinics in the San Francisco Bay Area and 8 clinics in Los Angeles.[19][20] By October 2021, Carbon Health had 90 full service medical clinics, located in 14 states within the United States.[21]

In July 2022, Carbon Health laid off 25% of its workforce. That was approximately 250 employees.

COVID-19

In March 2020, Carbon Health partnered with the San Francisco-based online pharmacy Alto Pharmacy to provide oral swab home test kits to patients in

United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA);[22][23] however, that same week, the FDA suspended the sales and distribution of home testing kits produced by Carbon Health, among others.[24][25]

In April 2020, Carbon Health released an

HIPAA-compliant repository of COVID-19 clinical data.[26][27]

In January 2021, the city of Los Angeles began using Carbon Health software to manage the logistics of administering 1.5 million

COVID-19 vaccines at mass vaccination sites including Dodger Stadium.[28][29][30][31][32]
