Who we are
SameSky Health is a cultural experience company that removes barriers to care and forms meaningful relationships to bring people to health. We partner with health plans to advance health equity and reduce health disparities by creating personalized, culturally relevant experiences for members — guiding them to the tools, resources, and care they need. Our focus is on Medicare, Medicaid, and Exchange lines of business.
Based in North Hollywood, California, the company was founded in 2017 as ConsejoSano by Abner Mason, originally focused on reaching Spanish speakers to schedule telehealth appointments. In recognition of our expanding scope and mission, in 2022, we rebranded as SameSky Health. The name reflects the broader communities we serve, and the idea that we all live under the same sky — that we deserve equitable access to healthcare, and the opportunity to enjoy the best possible health and wellness.
Today, SameSky Health has engaged over 2.8 million members, across all 50 states and three US territories, in more than 25 different languages.
We are a multidisciplinary group of medical professionals, engineers, policy experts, engagement specialists, and health plan executives from across the globe. We believe that a deep understanding of culture can create enormous value and saving for our clients and their members.
