Aging in Place: Cameron Carter on Leading Rosarium Health and Navigating Healthcare Policy Changes

What if healthcare started at home?

In this episode of First Builders, hosts Amber Illig and Rachel Tsui sit down with Cameron Carter, Founder and CEO of Rosarium Health, a company helping older adults and people with disabilities age safely in place through smart home modifications.
A seasoned healthcare operator turned founder, Cameron previously held leadership roles at Truven (acquired by IBM Watson), Evolent Health (IPO), Bright Health (IPO; later acquired by Cigna), and DaVita before taking a personal mission and turning it into a company.

In this episode, Cameron shares:
– How building a ramp for his aunt on Medicaid sparked the idea for Rosarium Health
– The scale of the “silver tsunami” and why aging in place is a necessity, not a luxury
– What the new “Big Beautiful Bill” means for Medicaid, providers, and founders building in regulated markets
– Why policy knowledge is a strategic advantage for healthcare startups
– And why “move fast and break things” doesn’t work when lives are on the line

It’s a deep-dive into mission-driven healthcare innovation — and a masterclass on how to turn policy into opportunity.
