We are deeply committed to supporting both private healthcare providers and public health stakeholders with finance, technology, and data to achieve that vision,” said Adegoke Olubusi, Helium Health CEO/co-founder while speaking on the funding. “We are delighted to have such seasoned healthcare investors accompany us on our journey.”
