We’re a proud leader in tech-enabled medical care for people with obesity and comorbid health conditions. Today, we are rebranding as FlyteHealth for our customer and consumer-facing brand. “As our business in the care and navigation of the best-in-class obesity medicine program continues to grow, employers, payers and patients have come to know us as Flyte. With that increased visibility, we are consolidating under FlyteHealth as a single brand,” our CEO and co-founder Sloan Saunders explains. “This alignment allows us to continue to expand our offerings with our partners and provide a unified experience.” Powered by the patent-pending Flyte Intelligence platform, FlyteHealth delivers a user-friendly experience through the FlyteHealth app, care by a team of obesity medicine experts, and patient navigation services. The FlyteHealth approach is built upon the largest data set of obesity and chronic disease research available, as well as the decades of clinical experience of FlyteHealth’s founders — obesity medicine specialists who were among the first to see obesity not as a simple issue of willpower but as a complex disease that requires expert medical treatment.

Obesity care that empowers you
About us
FlyteHealth is a tech-enabled healthcare services organization born of the belief that everyone deserves to live a healthy life. Our efforts to bring the most effective health care to people with obesity, while making it cost-efficient to do so, mean that more people can transform their health for the better—now and for the rest of their lives. We were founded by physicians who were the first to recognize obesity not as a simple issue of willpower, but as a complex disease that requires expert medical treatment. Based on their decades of research and caring for patients, our clinically proven approach combines the latest in personalized medication therapy and behavior coaching that not only helps people lose weight for the long term, but significantly improves related conditions. Our obesity treatment platform, powered by Flyte Intelligence, is built from the largest data set of obesity and chronic disease research available, empowering healthcare providers—our own FlyteHealth clinicians and those of our healthcare partners—to deliver the highest standards of care, consistently. While others are jumping on the GLP-1 bandwagon, we see a better way. One that allows employers and payers to offer the best in obesity care, while keeping costs under control. FlyteHealth clinicians prescribe GLP-1 medications strategically, alongside lower-cost generics, for treatment that’s specific to what our patients’ bodies truly need and delivers better control over health care costs. Obesity care goes well beyond weight loss. FlyteHealth gives patients the power to achieve a lifetime of better health. Whether they are actively losing weight or maintaining a normal BMI, we deliver clinical care and coordinate with care teams to help them manage optimal health for life. At FlyteHealth, we’re committed to making sure nothing stands in the way of someone getting the care they need. Together, we’re a collective force for fighting chronic disease.
