Folkhälsan

About Folkhälsan

Folkhälsan is the largest Swedish-speaking organization in Finland that works for better health and quality of life. We are both a service producer and expert organization, as well as a citizen movement.
Collage with four photos: an older woman dancing with her hands in the air, a person laughing in a meeting, a child in rain gear playing in a park, and a group of young people talking outside a Folkhälsan building. The images reflect joy, community, and life across ages – core elements of Folkhälsan’s work.
A group of four scientists wearing white lab coats and gloves are gathered around an open research book in a laboratory, smiling and discussing its contents. The bright and modern lab setting includes shelves with equipment and large windows allowing natural light inside.
