Who We Are

Behind every leading health system is K Health’s AI‑powered virtual care engine.

Esteemed health systems like Mayo Clinic, Cedars‑Sinai, Mass General Brigham, Hackensack Meridian Health, and Hartford Healthcare partner with K Health to build and run modern primary virtual care clinics on their behalf.

Our deeply integrated model modernizes the primary care loop by using AI to put humans first. For our patients, we offer clinical AI (i.e., PatientGPT) and unparalleled access to close care gaps around the clock. For our Providers, we deliver provider‑serving agentic solutions (i.e., Perfect Note) to eliminate administrative overload and burnout. And for the health systems, we deploy our top‑grade Virtualists in AI‑powered virtual clinics 24/7 to capture the patients’ care journeys at step one, retain the journey through the system for longitudinal care, and strengthen profitability.

We’re founded in 2016, headquartered in New York City, and backed by nearly $400 million from leading investors including Valor Equity Partners, Claure Group, Mangrove Capital Partners, 14W, Notable Capital, Lerer Hippeau, Primary Venture Partners, Comcast Ventures, PICO Venture Partners, Max Ventures, and other strategic healthcare partners.

We offer competitive compensation packages based on industry benchmarks for function, level, and geographic location. Offer amounts are determined by multiple factors such as a candidate's experience and expertise.

We’re deeply committed to building teams as diverse as the patients we serve and strive to cultivate an environment where everyone can bring their most authentic self to work.
