Hazel Health
School-based telehealth platform serving 20M+ children through virtual care, therapy, and mental health services.
What They Do
Hazel Health operates a school-based telehealth platform that lets students access pediatric medical visits and therapy through school and district partnerships. Its model is built around contracts with districts and schools, with care delivered during the school day or at home depending on the program. The company’s mental health model is structured so families pay $0, with districts and insurance covering services; Hazel also works with health plans and state procurement channels to widen access. Hazel’s current scale is concentrated in public-school distribution rather than direct consumer acquisition, which is a meaningful differentiator in pediatric virtual care.
Competitive Position
Hazel competes most directly with school-linked pediatric access models and pediatric behavioral health platforms such as brightline and summer-health, but its go-to-market motion is more deeply embedded in K-12 procurement than employer benefits or consumer telehealth. That school-district wedge makes Hazel unusually exposed to Medicaid, public funding, and district budgets, while also creating a stronger moat in referral flow and student engagement than general telehealth vendors. The Little Otter acquisition also pushes Hazel closer to family-centered pediatric mental health competitors that start outside the school setting.
