Health2047, a Silicon Valley-based healthcare innovation enterprise has announced a $27.2 million follow-on investment from its founding partner, the American Medical Association (AMA).

In addition to the follow-on investment, Health2047 recently appointed Lawrence K. Cohen as CEO, added a CFO and three new managing directors: 

– Gary Cookhorn, former Managing Director of Fortress Investment Group;

– Daphne Li, former director of strategy at Apple and member of Bain & Company’s Business Acceleration Group;

“This new investment will help us create much-needed changes in the U.S. healthcare system,” said Health2047 Chief Executive Officer Lawrence K. Cohen. “Our growing team collaborates closely with both the physician community and technology leaders to tackle key problem areas. We will deploy this new investment to broaden our network of strategic partners and accelerate the pace at which we are able to develop and spin out new businesses in our four areas of focus.”
