Mother Goose Health

What Mother Goose Health does

Mother Goose Health is a New York-based digital health company that operates a tech-enabled maternity and postpartum care management platform founded in 2019 by Dr. Kenneth Levey and Shelle' Jones. Its core product combines a patient-facing mobile application with bi-directional electronic health record integration (notably with athenahealth), a proprietary Risk Analytics Engine for early identification of preterm birth risk, remote patient monitoring, evidence-based care pathways, and a closed-loop on-demand referral network spanning mental health (SohoMD, Mamaya Health), nutrition (Nourish), lactation (Nest Collaborative, The Breastfeeding Shop), doula services (NYC Birth Village), and midwifery workflows (Pario Health, ClientCare). The platform is supported by an in-house multidisciplinary care management team (nurses, social workers, mental health clinicians, physical therapists, nutritionists) that engages patients from pregnancy confirmation through one year postpartum.

The company pursues a B2B2C distribution model: it contracts with commercial health plans and Medicaid managed care organizations and with health systems on value-based terms, then offers the platform at no cost to patients and providers — removing end-user adoption friction while monetizing at the payer and provider level. Channel reach is split between direct enterprise sales, the athenahealth Marketplace, and partner-driven referrals. Reported clinical outcomes are material: a 55.4% reduction in preterm birth rate versus the U.S. national average, a 22% reduction in cesarean delivery rate, an 18% increase in postpartum visit attendance, and a 4.58/5 average patient rating with a 92% recommendation rate. The patient mix is reported as 62% racial/ethnic minorities and 45% Medicaid / 50% Commercial, with clinical deployment spanning metro and rural markets.

Operationally, the company is a private, venture-stage entity with a stated headcount of 1–10 employees, no disclosed funding rounds, and no public revenue figures. It is HIPAA and SOC 2 Type II compliant, was named to Galen Growth's 2026 HealthTech 250 list, and in January 2025 was admitted to the ARPA-H Investor Catalyst Hub Spoke Network. The leadership team is led by founder-CEO Dr. Kenneth Levey, founder and CCO Shelle' Jones, and CMO Dr. Meera Garcia (formerly CMO at Advantia Health and Pacify), with additional senior hires including a Head of Health Policy and Health Care Finance Strategy (ex-AmeriHealth Caritas), indicating active scaling of payer-facing and policy-facing capabilities.
