About Us
The EliHealth Initiative is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit dedicated to transforming pelvic health and advancing health equity. Inspired by the success of Elitone – a clinically proven solution for urinary incontinence – we aim to restore women’s health, dignity and confidence by providing access to pelvic health treatments to the underserved.
The Issue
Urinary incontinence is one of the most prevalent yet under-addressed women’s health issues, impacting 1 in 3 women. The condition leads to significant physical, emotional, and financial burdens costing the U.S. healthcare system $25 billion annually, with untreated cases worsening over time. Women resort to decreased activity, intimacy avoidance, poor sleep, increased urinary tract infections, and costly management with pads.
Clinical care is often costly with surgery, expensive medications, and time-consuming office visits. Although FDA-cleared treatments like Elitone are more affordable and are covered by Medicare, high deductibles, copays, and out-of-pocket costs often prevent women from accessing care.
Many women—particularly in disadvantaged communities—delay seeking treatment for pelvic health conditions until symptoms worsen, leading to reduced quality of life, higher healthcare costs, and more complex care needs.
Our Mission
The EliHealth Initiative aims to improve women’s health, via access to life-changing pelvic floor treatment to the underserved. With ongoing partnerships, we aim to provide impactful solutions by:
- Expanding pelvic health education
- Supporting access to insurance coverage (telehealth or copay costs)
- Refurbishing Elitone devices under strict ISO13485 medical quality controls and providing new GelPads
EliHealth Initiative is seeking monetary and Elitone product donations (if available).
We aim to support women like Sara L. who wrote:
“I am a 34-year-old mother of four. I have severe pelvic floor dysfunction and other chronic health conditions that I struggle with. Unfortunately, there is not enough money to even make payments on the device. I ask if there is any program for an Elitone that might allow me the chance to overcome these issues that significantly impact my quality of life.”
The Elitone Solution
Elitone® devices provide a groundbreaking women’s health solution for pelvic floor dysfunction, stress incontinence, and overactive bladder. It has successfully treated over 30,000 women in four years.
Rather than simply managing symptoms, Elitone treats the root cause of incontinence with an easy, non-invasive, at-home solution that fits into women’s lives, so they may reclaim active and fulfilling lives.
“At 51 years old, I was not ready to stop living. All my doctor would say is do your kegels, but I was not getting better. I don’t need surgery to get my life back. Hooray, I found Elitone!!! Now every time I sneeze, cough and laugh I am not afraid.” – Nancy
