We’re on a mission to nurture families by bringing convenient, compassionate healthcare into the homes of those who need it most.

Nearly half of children and postpartum women on Medicaid miss recommended care, not from lack of concern, but from a system that demands time off work, childcare arrangements, and transportation for every fragmented appointment. We're the first solution to address that at the household level, bringing integrated medical, behavioral, and social support directly to the home for every family member on Medicaid, with 24/7 access at no additional cost.

Nest Health was started by moms to make healthcare easy for moms, dads, babies, kids, and teens living in the same home.

Our team of experts, local nurse practitioners, doctors, therapists and family advocates is dedicated to making each visit both safe and supportive. We’re here to listen, not judge. Our number one priority is the health of your family.

Nest Health: Whole-Family Healthcare.

Meet the founders

Dr. Rebekah Gee, MD, MPH, FACOG

Founder & Chief Executive Officer

Dr. Rebekah Gee is a practicing obstetrician-gynecologist, mother of five, and former Louisiana Secretary of Health. During her tenure as Secretary, she witnessed how healthcare barriers kept Medicaid families from getting care. As a working parent, she understood the struggle of coordinating appointments, childcare, and time off work. She founded Nest Health in 2021 to bring comprehensive care directly into families' homes.

Rebecca Kavoussi, MPP

Co-Founder

Rebecca Kavoussi is a healthcare executive with deep expertise in home-based care. As former President of Landmark Health, she led operations for one of the nation's largest home-based primary care programs. She co-founded Nest Health to bring this model to the families who need it most: those on Medicaid facing the greatest barriers to care.
