Nomi Health, a direct healthcare company delivering real-time access to affordable care, today announced a strategic investment from Inspirit Equity, a dynamic private equity firm founded by Charles Gores, the son of Michigan native and Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores.

This collaboration comes at a critical time for Michigan businesses. With employer-sponsored health plan costs projected to surge past $25,000 for family coverage – a 7% increase from the previous year – Michigan employers are urgently seeking innovative solutions to manage expenses without compromising the quality of their benefits.

"We’re proud to support Nomi Health in its mission to make care more accessible and affordable for working families,” said Inspirit Equity CEO, Charles Gores. “This investment is part of our broader commitment to building stronger, healthier communities."

Employers continue to demand more transparency, better access, and real value from their healthcare spend. With Charles and the Gores Family’s support, Nomi Health will accelerate its efforts to bring these outcomes to life across the state.

Nomi Health works directly with self-funded employers, local providers, and public organizations to create alternative pathways to care, bypassing the traditional middlemen that drive up costs. Its modern healthcare platform combines real-time data, direct medical networks, and transparent payments—all designed to eliminate waste and deliver lower costs, $0 member payments, and faster provider reimbursement.

“We’re honored to partner with Inspirit Equity and the Gores Family as we deepen our work in Michigan,” said Nomi Health CEO Mark Newman. “From the start, our teams worked quickly and collaboratively to make this investment seamless—a true reflection of our shared vision for transforming healthcare. This is more than an investment—it’s a vote of confidence in a better way to deliver care, led by a family that understands what Michigan families need.”

This investment marks a significant milestone in Nomi Health’s mission to make the real cost of healthcare both possible and accessible—and reflects a shared commitment to improving the health and well-being of communities across Michigan, one of the nation’s most challenging, incumbent-dominated healthcare markets.
