Health Karma’s virtual healthcare approach gives members direct access to a medical professional 24/7 through our online platform, so they don’t have to travel to receive care or encounter the long wait times often experienced at doctor offices and urgent care facilities.”

“Partnering with Health Karma means our members can access affordable, convenient, and comprehensive healthcare services,” said PSIA-AASI Interim Chief Executive Officer Tom Spiess, CAE. “A Health Karma membership lets instructors access care any time of day, so they don’t have to miss a ski or ride day to visit a health care facility.”
