1Life Healthcare raises $8M for boutique medicine
1Life Healthcare, a San Francisco-based network of boutique primary medical care, just brought in $8 million in a second round of funding led by Benchmark Capital. (While Pinnacle Ventures lists the company as a member of its portfolio, 1Life says that no funds have been received from the firm.)
The money will be used to increase the number of services the company offers. Its goal is to provide a uniquely high quality of care to its clients, including same-day appointments, more personalized appointments, regular email exchanges with physicians and online healthcare tools.
