Corner Health Raises $25 Million Series A as 27 States Expand NP Practice Authority

Summary
$25 million in new Series A funding led by Oak HC/FT gives Corner Health $32.5 million total to expand its platform for nurse practitioners running independent practices.
27 states now allow full practice authority for nurse practitioners, and Corner is betting that looser rules, primary-care shortages and AI tools will push more NPs to launch solo clinics.
70 nurse practitioners in Arizona and Washington already use the platform, which automates scheduling, patient communication, lab orders and referrals so they can operate without clinic support staff.
78% of nurse practitioners want to start their own businesses, according to the company, and some using Corner have already doubled their salaries versus hospital-system jobs.
Oak HC/FT sees the model as a broader workforce shift in healthcare, potentially turning nursing from a job into a small-business career path and helping attract more providers into primary care.
