Overview

EPIC Health PBC is a groundbreaking public benefit corporation founded by Dr. Topeka K. Sam, a visionary advocate for social justice, women’s health, and equitable access to care. Together with her partner Garnett Smith, EPIC Health is reimagining healthcare delivery for historically underserved and justice-impacted communities—bridging the gap between medical innovation, accessibility, and trust.

Mission

EPIC Health’s mission is to ensure that everyone, regardless of circumstance, has access to compassionate, affordable, and high-quality healthcare. The organization is committed to addressing health inequities through technology, community partnerships, and culturally competent care.

Who They Serve

EPIC Health focuses on individuals who are too often excluded or underserved by traditional healthcare systems, including:

  • Justice-impacted women and men transitioning back into their communities
  • Low-income families and individuals facing systemic barriers to care
  • Communities of color disproportionately affected by chronic illness and limited healthcare access
  • Individuals without consistent access to primary care or prescriptions

By combining telehealth, prescription delivery, and personalized care coordination, EPIC Health empowers these communities to take control of their health journeys.

What They Do

EPIC Health provides telehealth consultations, prescription management, and direct medication delivery through trusted pharmacy partners. Their digital-first model simplifies access to care by removing barriers related to transportation, stigma, and cost. Every aspect of the platform is designed to restore dignity, privacy, and trust in the healthcare experience.

Partnerships

EPIC Health collaborates with a wide range of partners, including:

  • Healthcare providers and prescribers who share their vision for accessible telemedicine
  • Nonprofit organizations and reentry programs serving justice-impacted populations
  • Community leaders and advocates helping to build local trust and awareness
  • Employers and funders seeking to improve health outcomes and reduce disparities

Future Partnerships

The venture is actively seeking new partners who align with their social impact mission—particularly community health organizations, philanthropic investors, and government or private entities interested in innovative public health solutions.

Vision

EPIC Health envisions a future where healthcare is not a privilege but a human right, where technology connects compassion with care, and where every person—regardless of background—can access the tools needed to live a healthier, more empowered life.

Through Dr. Sam’s leadership and Garnett Smith’s operational expertise, EPIC Health stands as a beacon of what is possible when purpose meets innovation. The venture embodies Dr. Sam’s lifelong mission to break cycles of inequity, creating an EPIC model for how healthcare can—and should—serve everyone with dignity and grace.
