Our Story

Aphora Health emerged from a deep personal commitment and a 15-year journey, led by our founder, Jim Song. As an immigrant from South Korea, Jim grew up without health insurance, giving him a firsthand understanding of the challenges many face in accessing affordable healthcare. His career, spanning both the provider and payor sides of the industry, further fueled his determination to make a difference.

Jim served as Vice President of Technology at NYU Langone, where he focused on enhancing patient outcomes while reducing costs. He also worked at Blue Cross Blue Shield North Carolina, where he delved into the complexities of healthcare a s business and explored why costs remain so high.

This blend of personal experience and professional insight led Jim to establish Aphora Health. He envisioned a company that could bridge the gap between affordability in healthcare, ensuring that individuals receive life-changing medical care without the financial burden that often accompanies it.

Today, Aphora Health is redefining the healthcare landscape by offering innovative solutions that make global healthcare accessible and affordable. By partnering with trusted international providers and ensuring continuity of care, we deliver premium-quality medical attention at a fraction of the cost.

Aphora Health is more than just a healthcare company; it’s a movement to make high quality, affordable care a reality for everyone.
