          Now valued at more than $1 billion, the startup provides virtual care and local support services to patients who may otherwise fall through the cracks.
        
        
          The company plans on using the funds to add new capabilities including billing and payment collection. 
        
        
          The startup will be targeting new hires, increased marketing and brand awareness campaigns, and new developments for its product.
        
        
          The company will be headed by Verily's cofounder Tom Stanis. 
        
        
          This comes roughly a year after the company raised $113 million in Series B funding.
