Alpha Values

We're changing the paradigm of healthcare for patients who are historically underrepresented due to sex, race, gender, language, economic status, location, disability, and other diverse backgrounds. We empower our Primary Care Providers with a foundation in women's health to administer patient-centered care throughout a woman's lifespan.

We prioritize what's best for our patients, not what's easier or more profitable. We do whatever it takes to provide excellent care and empower patients to take control of their health.

We work together as a team to bring to life our vision of a more just healthcare system. We trust each other, communicate openly and honestly. We give credit where it is due, provide opportunities for employee growth and development, assume good intentions, and celebrate our wins as a team.

Alpha exists to bring a more accessible, equitable system to care for the whole woman regardless of age, income, and location. We are inclusive, welcoming, and value different perspectives.

Alphanauts love data and value facts over opinions. We use evidence-based science to highlight the clinical value of our mission.

Alphanauts learn by doing and address challenges without waiting or worrying about their scope. We are pragmatic and value progress over perfection. We are optimistic and believe in the power of positivity.
