A1M’s goal is simple – to do the right thing for our employees, customers, partners, and community.
Kristine, A1M’s CEO, grew up on a ranch in the arid center of California. Caring for animals and growing their own food taught her the value of hard work and the power of compassion. It was these early experiences that she also formed a deep connection to nature. Rosie, the horse pictured here, was one of Kristine’s dearest friends.
We choose to keep the lessons of A1 Ranch front and center in the A1M name to remind us that we can only achieve our goal by sustaining our connections to each other, to our communities, and to the environment.
While our primary expertise is founded in the Medicare and Medicaid government healthcare programs, we are dedicated to better health outcomes for all people in the United States.
A1M is based in Chico, California, which is on Mechoopda and Konkow Maidu land.
We can give more to our communities and our environment together than we could individually. As a company, we give a minimum of 10% of our profits to charitable causes.
We make a donation on behalf of each new employee to the non-profit of their choice and offer paid time off for community service. We enjoy learning about the nonprofits each employee chooses to support.
For her new employee donation, Caitlin chose Portland Street Medicine, which meets her temporary neighbors where they are to provide healthcare and other supportive services.
Sam volunteers with the Butte County Community School in Chico, an alternative public school that supports students who face significant issues including poverty, homelessness, and incarcerated parents.
Betsy chose Ancient Song Doula Services in Brooklyn, which offers doula services to people who otherwise could not afford doula care, including low-income women of color and incarcerated pregnant people.
We choose contracts where our work supports disadvantaged populations. We won’t work on contracts that do harm to our communities or the environment.
We are a distributed company that hires employees across the United States to advance our commitment to community health. A1M promotes a close, collaborative remote work culture, including thoughtful onboarding, frequent informal check-ins, and regularly review and updates of every employee's roles and responsibilities. It’s important for each member of our team to know how they can contribute in valuable ways and stay connected. When we bring skilled people into government service with good jobs, this benefits everyone.
We are not funded by outside investment, which allows us to govern by our own values.
A1M uses core principles inspired by practices found in nature to guide the way we think and work. Our principles include:
