Rippl Acquired by Harbor Health

Rippl Care, Inc., a dementia care platform built to help seniors living with dementia remain at home and out of the emergency department, hospital, and post-acute settings, has completed its acquisition by Harbor Health, a Texas-based primary and specialty care clinic group and health insurance company.

Orrick represented Rippl.

THE COMPANIES

Rippl is transforming dementia care through a pioneering new care model that expands access to specialized dementia care, personalized and proactive care plans, and innovative technology. In coordination with the Alzheimer's Association, Rippl provides 24/7 support and personalized care when and where it's needed.

Harbor Health was created by people who have spent decades trying to make health better, including those who provide health to those who figure out how to pay for it. Harbor Health's mission is to make care work better for consumers so that everyone can achieve optimal health.

THE IMPACT

"Integrating Rippl's dementia platform into our expanding library of condition-focused care pathways gives our health teams another powerful tool to manage complex health needs," said Tony Miller, Harbor Health Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer. "As our health plan membership grows rapidly, these pathways are essential for keeping coverage more affordable and taking better care of people. That's our priority."

"We created Rippl to keep seniors with dementia and their caregivers at home and out of the emergency department and hospital," said Kris Engskov, Rippl Care Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer. "We've always understood expert dementia care works best when it's deeply integrated with primary care, and we're excited to see Harbor Health scale this platform as part of its broader effort to deliver condition-focused care and better outcomes while dramatically reducing unnecessary costs."

As part of the deal, Rippl investors are making a new commitment to the combined company. Key investors include Kin Ventures, ARCH Venture Partners, General Catalyst, GV (Google Ventures), F-Prime Capital, JSL Health, and Mass General Brigham Ventures.

THE TEAM

Tony Chan, Kayla Southworth and Blake Ilstrup led the team that advised Rippl, with invaluable support from Amy Joseph, Jeremy Sherer, Amanda Morales, Brent Armitage, Sherry Zhou, Eric Wall, Jason Flaherty, Sharon Zhou, David Sharrow, Shannon Yavorsky, Carly Owens, Craig Falls, Deven Chander, Jake Routhier and Deborah Abernathy.
