Heba

Our story

We built Heba having ourselves seen how fragmented and complex care systems can be for families. Managing, coordinating & navigating care is overwhelming.

Today, we're left with towers of paper folders, long waits on telephone helplines, and a whole lot of Google-ing. We founded Heba with the mission to make sure that all families have the tools, resources and support they need to receive the best care possible.
