KEHO - Central Finland Health and Wellbeing Ecosystem

KEHO - Central Finland Health and Wellbeing Ecosystem brings together diverse operators and experts on social welfare, healthcare and sports. With the help of interdisciplinary cooperation, we aim to improve and promote health and wellbeing. The University of Jyväskylä is its key member, and coordinated the ecosystem during 2020-2024. After the national social and health services reform KEHO was merged to be part of Wellbeing Services County of Central Finland.

Our goal is to make Central Finland an internationally competitive centre of wellbeing, health promotion, social welfare, sports, physical activity, rehabilitation, health-related business and research. KEHO is founded to create a platform for cooperation, sharing information and strengthening the bond between different operators in the field.

KEHO benefits from the exceptional strengths of Central Finland: we excel in cooperation, research on social, health and sports sciences as well as other health-related matters, and have a wide variety of health-related businesses and third sector operators in the area.
