About Us

At Heluna Health, population health is personal. For more than 50 years, Heluna Health has worked together with nonprofit and community-based organizations, public health agencies, healthcare systems, providers, and policymakers to strengthen health interventions and create equitable access to disease prevention, treatment, care and social resources.
