About 9amHealth

9amHealth: Telemedicine Specializing in Cardiometabolic Health

9amHealth is a virtual healthcare company focused on the comprehensive treatment of cardiometabolic conditions. Its approach combines weight management, diabetes care, and cardiovascular health into a single program, with personalized care plans and continuous access to specialists. The company presents itself as an alternative that simplifies the care process, from initial evaluation to prescription approval and lab tests.

Areas of Care

The company structures its offering around three main pillars:

  • Weight Management: combines prescription medications, when needed, with lifestyle changes for lasting results.
  • Diabetes Care: covers the prevention, management, and treatment of the disease.
  • Heart Health: comprehensive care for high blood pressure and high cholesterol, with the goal of preventing cardiovascular events.

How the Program Works

The process begins with a complete health evaluation that allows for the design of a care plan tailored to each person's needs. That plan may include medications when appropriate, nutrition guidance, exercise routines, and other components. The company handles the approval of prescriptions and lab tests, and provides support throughout the entire journey. Access to specialists is available at any time.

Care is supported by tools such as connected devices, at-home lab tests, and access to specialists. The team consists of board-certified obesity specialists, pharmacists, dietitians, and behavioral health experts who develop treatment plans aimed at long-term success.
