Pediatric behavioural health provider Handspring Health has acquired adolescent therapy company Joon Care, six months after closing a $12 million Series A round led by Cobalt Ventures.

The company raised $6 million in 2023. The acquisition will enable Handspring to expand into Washington state, where Joon Care has contracts with government agencies and commercial payers.
