Our story of care and connection
OUR MISSION
Transforming how people navigate the gaps between health care & social care
At Reema, we believe that a personalized, community-based approach to care makes it easier for anyone to access the things they need to make their lives better.
We know that life’s challenges often exist because the systems built to help are a burden to navigate. We believe building a relationship with a real person — someone who listens, meets members where they are, and understands the community’s resources — can ease those burdens.
My ‘why’ for being at Reema is simple. I’m driven by a passion for helping people live healthier and happier lives. Reema's mission allows me to do just that while building relationships with members and the community.”

OUR VALUES
Humanizing health care through insight & compassion
We Are Curious
“Before I start building or working on anything, I like to understand the problem we’re tackling, the motivation behind solving it, and why it takes priority. My strategy is one familiar to 5 year olds: keep asking why.”
Daniel Martelly, Engineering

We Are Passionate
“I am passionate about helping our community members live their best and healthiest lives. Members are the driving force of our program, Reema empowers me every day to meet members where they are at, and become part of their support system.”

We Take Ownership
“Taking ownership is important to me in both the work I do and relationships I form at Reema. Meaningful progress is a result of recognizing and communicating about both strengths and challenges and owning the next steps to take with that information.”
Mallory Aud, Growth

We Learn and Adapt
“Keeping up with new ideas in data science and beyond feels daunting some days, but I have found so many nuggets of gold worth learning and trying out that I continue to look. Ultimately, the tools and insights gained help real people get access to the things they need. That’s motivation enough!”
Sam Terfa, Data Team

From humble beginnings
Growing up, I saw my single mom struggle to pay rent, find a job, and get healthcare. Luckily, we had extended family to rely on, but the experience shaped me: what would have happened if someone hadn’t been there to support us?
When I began working in healthcare, I saw how the institutions built to help aren’t just inconvenient, they’re often biased against the people who need help the most.
But I found I wasn’t alone. Others saw the gaps and flaws in the system too. So, we built Reema. And now we’re bridging the gap between people and the social safety nets in their communities so that everyone has access to the support they need.
