our Mission
100 million Americans lack reliable access to primary care. For these people, the front door to healthcare is effectively invisible — leaving chronic disease undiagnosed, unmanaged, and worsening over time. We believe access to trusted care should be the norm, not the exception. So we’re building a system that meets people where they are and strengthens the communities they trust.
At its core, Oben means ‘to elevate.’
Founder Peter Njongwe named the company in honor of his late brother, Oben — dedicating this work to lifting barriers to care and elevating the life expectancy of the communities that need it most.
