Backing local innovators and solutions

We believe that health begins at home. That’s why we help strengthen communities by supporting local entrepreneurs who have the knowledge and familiarity of the people they serve. These leaders drive economic growth, job creation and social impact – and we back those who are creating bold, practical solutions to improve health and wellbeing where it matters most.
