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.
A1M uses core principles inspired by practices found in nature to guide the way we think and work.
We believe that by giving to our communities, we can cultivate transformation that endures long after our involvement. As a company, we give a minimum of 10% of our profits to charitable causes. In addition to making donations for each new employee to the non-profit of their choice and regular seasonal company-wide and company-funded charitable campaigns, we also have long-term partnerships with charitable organizations that support causes we believe in.
We are not funded by outside investment, and having financial independence allows us to govern by our own values and make deliberate choices about our commitments. As a business, we choose behaviors and practices that support our communities and each other.
We focus on work that reflects our values and creates lasting, positive impact. By advancing collaboration and building strong connections, we can benefit the entire ecosystem. The initiatives we partner on strengthen government systems and improve health outcomes—especially for underserved communities.
We address today’s needs by learning from the past and adapting for the future. Our employees bring experience in public healthcare, fraud prevention, and government design, and we continue to hire in a way that allows us to evolve and move forward.
We are a distributed company that hires employees across the United States. Learn more about how great it is to work with us!
I lead A1M’s experience practice. I’ve spent my career as a user experience and service designer applying design to the nonprofit and government services space.
We are a remote-first workplace with employees across the United States. Our client projects have core hours for part of each work day, with flexibility in schedule before and after core hours.
