Health is bringing forward-thinking teammates along on a novel healthcare journey: a membership model where our patients receive a level of attention they won’t find anywhere else. No insurance is required to be a member; patients pay a predictable monthly fee. Our team members who interact with patients are fully bilingual in Spanish and English. We offer primary care for all ages in-person, over the phone, and by text message. Community Health Navigators support our members with services beyond just clinical care.
