People from all over the world come to the United States for medical treatment because of the quality, breadth and advancement of our healthcare system. Yet, obtaining access to affordable, transparent, high-quality care remains a challenge for many Americans. With this in mind, Cox Enterprises is working to improve outcomes for patients.
We also believe that the most profound work in healthcare takes place when you empower empathetic caregivers with cutting-edge digital technologies. Working alongside progressive healthcare providers, digital health companies and industry thought leaders, we are determined to reduce costs, improve outcomes, increase access and reduce caregiver burnout.
How We Do It
Cox Enterprises is already pioneering new healthcare solutions in several areas of our business. By integrating these diverse resources and pursuing new opportunities via innovation, investment and partnership, we can help improve how patient care is delivered.
We began our journey by investing in Iora Health, a modernized primary care model that takes a comprehensive approach to managing the care of people over the age of 65. One Medical bought Iora Health in 2021, and Amazon is now in the process of acquiring Iora Health to make the healthcare experience more accessible and affordable for patients and providers.
Recent Investments
Below are a few of the recent investments we have made in this space:
- Enlace Health: Helps organize the best providers and facilitates all of your care needs for a pre-determined set price, which sets patients up for a successful outcome.
- Motivo Health: Works to make sure there are enough therapists to help serve the mental health crisis we face in this country by reducing the friction associated with new therapists pursuing licensure.
- Centivo: Works to re-engineer the employer health plan space to ensure that employees of businesses large and small have access to the most affordable, high-quality care possible.
Socium Ventures, an investment fund backed by Cox, generates prosperity for the future by investing in innovative healthcare companies like Capsule, Centivo, Devoted Health and Rialtic.

“Motivo connects mental health therapists with the supervision hours required to achieve licensure. Motivo has a direct impact on increasing the number of licensed mental health providers, particularly in rural, underserved areas. Cox Enterprises has been one of Motivo’s biggest supporters since 2018 when we entered the Techstars Atlanta program. We wouldn’t be where we are without the support of Cox!”
