Vik Bakhru, MD, formerly ConsejoSano, now Circulo Health, on the value of culturally competent care
Description
In this episode, we interview Vik Bakhru, MD, former COO and CFO of ConsejoSano and the founding CMO of Circulo Health. We discuss some of the challenges that ConsejoSano faced as they strove to build consumer trust in the medical system amidst the global pandemic and what’s in store for Circulo Health, the nation’s newest managed Medicaid plan.
Founded in 2014, ConsejoSano provides patient engagement tools to payers and providers to help them better connect with their multicultural Medicaid/ Medicare patient populations. Vik seeks to bring his learnings from ConsejoSano to Circulo Health where, along with their partner Olive, they hope to create a differentiated experience for Medicaid beneficiaries. Circulo Health raised their Series A in early 2021, led by Drive Capital and General Catalyst with participation from Oak HC/FT and SVB Capital.
