About Astia Health

Astia Health, founded in 2014 by Dr. Alex Sommers, emerged from a profound realization: our healthcare system was faltering. Dr. Sommers, a board-certified Emergency medicine physician, witnessed the disarray firsthand—unhappy providers, deteriorating patient health, and a corporate stranglehold on hospital-based medicine. In response, he planted the seeds of Astia Health.

Weathering the challenges of its infancy, Astia Health adopted a revolutionary approach in 2017: employer-based care. This paradigm shift aimed at fostering trust and nurturing relationships while dismantling the barriers of access, time, and cost. By embracing this model, employers not only delivered superior healthcare benefits but also slashed their healthcare expenditures.

For over a decade, Dr. Sommers has spearheaded this transformative journey with an entrepreneurial zeal, relentlessly innovating to prioritize cost-effectiveness and sustainable solutions. In 2023, he achieved board certification in Lifestyle medicine, a testament to his personal odyssey toward prevention and reversal of chronic diseases—a journey he intimately knows.



Driven by his own experiences, Dr. Sommers champions mental health and lifestyle interventions alongside advanced direct primary care, crafting a holistic healthcare approach. At Astia Health, innovation is not just a buzzword—it's our lifeline. Our unwavering commitment lies in guiding patients towards their healthiest, happiest selves, one innovative idea at a time. Join us as we redefine the future of healthcare.
