Service is in our DNA

From dozens of years of combined experience in patient care, managed care operations, health plan functions, data analytics, and customer and community service, we formed Salubris. From the start, our goal was to find ways to be innovative and effective in the healthcare marketplace.

Whether as a provider-focused community-based health plan or a partner to physicians and health plans, bridging the care gap, our goal is to take our unique combined experience and make it actionable. Today, we’re dedicated to fostering a supportive environment for our partners that’s based on transparency and consistency.
