A virtual-only, physician-led, membership-based primary care practice built on continuity. The same doctor carries your history forward so care compounds instead of resets - visit after visit, year after year.
Serving Washington State residents age 12 and older through telehealth.
The Principle
Sankofa is an Akan principle from West Africa, symbolized by a bird looking backward while moving forward. It conveys that it is right and necessary to return to the past, retrieve what was learned, and carry it forward for a higher purpose.
In healthcare, this principle highlights a common challenge. Medical records often fragment across systems, doctors often change between visits, and patients are frequently asked to repeat their history when continuity is not preserved.
Sankofa Family Medicine was designed for continuity. The same doctor who knows your history, visit after visit, so medical decisions build instead of reset.
Our Philosophy
Primary care built on continuity requires understanding more than today's complaint. It requires knowing your history, how your biology behaves, and how past decisions shaped where you are now.
At Sankofa, your physician works to build a foundational picture of your health early, drawing on your history, labs, and genetics, and carries that forward across every visit. When a clinical question calls for deeper analysis, that baseline becomes the lens through which it is answered. Precision is not a product here; it is how your doctor thinks.
Your genetic information is established once, early in care, and serves as a permanent reference layer. It informs how your physician interprets labs, considers medication responses, and personalizes prevention recommendations, as clinically appropriate. It does not drive every decision, but when a decision matters, it helps ensure your doctor has biological context, not just a clinical snapshot.
The same doctor who knows the depth of your history across every visit, so care builds instead of resets.
Your doctor does not just see a list of medications. They know why you started them, how your body responded, and what that response means for your care going forward.
