Startup Pack Health plans to open a new headquarters in downtown Birmingham and anticipates hiring 175 additional employees over the next four years, including programmers, developers, health advisers and other positions, according to the Birmingham Business Alliance (BBA).
Birmingham’s Pack Health, an innovative startup, helps patients navigate the
complexities of the health care system.
Pack Health has 30 employees and is renovating a building on First Avenue North that should open the summer of 2018. Capital investment in the project is $2.9 million, the BBA says. “In addition to accommodating our growing staff and bringing us closer to UAB and quality-of-life factors such as Railroad Park, Regions Field and Innovation Depot, this is a space where we can host events, work more closely with our local partners and become a hub for innovation in health and health care in Birmingham,” Pack Health President Mazi Rasulnia said.
Pack Health is a digital platform for chronic care management that was founded in 2013 and moved to the Innovation Depot business incubator in 2014. It graduated from the incubator in 18 months and renovated a building in Avondale for its first headquarters. Its new headquarters is just two blocks from Innovation Depot.
“I congratulate Pack Health,” Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin said. “From its inception here to aligning with major national partners and adding jobs, the company’s growth is a great example of how Birmingham is growing to meet the needs of its citizens.”
