## Our Beginnings

Prestige Health and Sagitec Solutions co-founded Helios Connect to provide operational support for community-based organizations and reduce the administrative burden on payers.

We are minority-owned and provider governed company and are deeply committed to the communities we serve.

With Prestige Health's experience in Illinois' Medicaid, provider network, and regulatory landscape and Sagitec's purpose-built Medicaid Member engagement platform, Helios Connect combines the strengths of both organizations to seamlessly support payers, providers, FQHCs, and community-based organizations.
