Job description

Sana’s vision is to make healthcare easy.

Healthcare is simply too hard in the US. At Sana, we’re working to change that by making healthcare easier to access, navigate, and afford. We want our members to know exactly where to turn when they need care, with as few barriers as possible.

We all know navigating healthcare in the U.S. is confusing, costly, and frustrating — and our members are used to feeling that pain. That’s why we’re building something different: affordable health plans designed around Sana Care, our integrated care model connecting members with unlimited primary care and expert care navigation at no additional cost to them.

Whether it’s a quick prescription refill or guidance through a complex medical journey, Sana Care makes it feel effortless to get the right care at the right time. And for employers and brokers, we’ve built intuitive tools to make managing health benefits just as seamless.
