Member Support Specialist Virta Health is on a mission to transform type 2 diabetes and weight-loss care. Current treatment approaches aren't working—over half of US adults have either type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, and obesity rates are at an all-time high.

We have raised over $350 million from top-tier investors, and partner with the largest health plans, employers, and government organizations to help their employees and members restore their health and take back their lives.
