Social Determinants of Health
Founded in 1983 and headquartered in Northampton, Massachusetts, Baroco operates eight community-based programs across central and western Massachusetts and Connecticut. They serve over 330 adults with autism, Down syndrome, and other intellectual and developmental disabilities. Most healthcare investors overlook this population entirely. Baroco builds the infrastructure for dignified, independent living in communities where specialized care options barely exist. Day programs, residential support, and community integration designed around each individual's needs.

Three Ways to Work with Pharos
Whether you're allocating capital or building a healthcare company, we start with the same question: does this serve the communities that need it most?
Investors
Pharos partners with foundations, family offices, and institutional investors who want competitive returns from healthcare companies serving underserved communities.
Founders & Operators
We invest $25 to $50 million in established, U.S.-based healthcare companies positioned to reduce disparities in underserved communities and scale toward a potentially successful exit. If your company fits that profile, we want to hear from you.
Healthcare Partners
If you are a payor, hospital, health system, or governmental agency that services rural, tribal, or other complex underserved populations, we would welcome the opportunity to share existing solutions we have identified or to use our network to source new solutions for the problems these communities face.
