Akeso
Minimizing work-related injury risk and reducing healthcare costs through patient-centered occupational medicine for employers, employees, and insurers.
Overview
Akeso Occupational Health is a California-based occupational medicine clinic group that provides comprehensive work injury care and employer health services across California and Arizona. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Irvine, California, Akeso has grown rapidly through a series of acquisitions, expanding from a handful of clinics to become one of the leading independent occupational medicine providers on the West Coast.
The company serves as a key service provider in the workers's compensation ecosystem, forming three-way partnerships between employers, injured workers, and insurance payers. Akeso's model focuses on improving injured worker outcomes while minimizing lost work time, reducing healthcare costs, and increasing employee productivity. Approximately 58% of patient visits are workers' compensation related, with the remaining 42% comprising employer services such as pre-employment physicals and drug testing.
In July 2025, Kain Capital (Akeso's PE backer) and Angeles Equity Partners agreed to merge Akeso with Agile Occupational Medicine to form the nation's second-largest independent occupational medicine provider, with 42 combined locations across California and Arizona. Both firms each own 50% of the combined platform.
