Holon Health is a multi-specialty provider, including primary care and psychiatry, that bridges the gaps in care for people with substance use disorder (SUD) and/or mental health conditions by providing health evaluations and care plan management.

The Holon Vibe app complements mental health and SUD treatment by encouraging healthy habits, rewarding progress, and supporting long-term lifestyle change.
By integrating people and technology, Holon simplifies the complexities of care—helping individuals achieve better health outcomes while reducing unnecessary ER visits, hospitalizations, and other high-cost services. Our focus on prevention and whole-person health drives lasting recovery and lowers overall healthcare costs.

- 95% say it improved their mental health.
- 88% report improved physical health.
- 71% said it helped them make progress towards completing probation or reducing its length.
- Nearly 1/5th of clients avoided an ER or urgent care visit.
Description
Be Part of Something Radically Different
At Holon Health, we don’t do “business as usual.” We’re a trailblazing healthcare startup reimagining what it means to care—for our clients and our people. We provide whole-person care to justice-involved individuals living with Substance Use Disorder (SUD)—and we do it with deep compassion, community wisdom, and an unshakable belief in second chances.
Our approach throws out the playbook. We integrate medical, behavioral, and social care. We prioritize prevention and recovery. We treat clients like people, not checkboxes. And just as importantly, we know that our team can only care for others if they’re cared for themselves. That’s why we lead with flexibility, trust, and a culture built on well-being, inclusion, and respect. If you’re energized by meaningful work and want to feel good about how you spend your days, read on.
