About Blue Circle Health

Blue Circle Health is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the health of people with type 1 diabetes (T1D), a chronic autoimmune condition in which the body doesn’t produce insulin. T1D affects more than 2 million people in the US, and many face barriers to the care, education, medication, and supplies needed to manage their condition.


Blue Circle Health provides virtual care, education, and support for adults with T1D, at no cost to them. Because T1D is a 24/7 condition that is largely self-managed, we educate and empower people with T1D to ensure they have the skills, tools, and confidence to manage their condition. Our whole-person approach includes medical care, diabetes education, peer coaching, diabetes supportive counseling, insurance navigation, supplies and medication, and referrals to community resources that can help with access to housing, employment and food.


Funded by the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust, we are building a high-quality virtual healthcare delivery and support model for people with T1D. We partner with patient advocacy groups, health systems and clinics, including Federally Qualified Health Centers, to reach people with T1D. We aim to show that our model can be replicated for other chronic conditions to improve health outcomes and reduce the burden on the US healthcare system.


We’re seeking mission-driven professionals to help us create a healthcare delivery and support model that people deserve.
