HealthAffairs reports that a new loan fund, Vital Healthcare Capital (V-Cap), has been created to address  two critical challenges: “(1) investing in better models of care for vulnerable people such as the frail elderly, people with disabilities, and at-risk children; and (2) investing in better models of employment for the growing ranks of frontline health workers, who are critical to improving the well-being and reducing the overall cost of care for people with complex needs.”

The article says that “V-Cap’s goal is to be a catalyst and to promote integrated care systems that improve health as well as develop high-quality jobs for frontline health care workers in low-income communities.”
