Our Story
Kristina Robinson, a seasoned community health professional with two decades of experience, established Halite Solutions Group (HSG) in 2020, initially as an LLC. Drawing upon her extensive background in nonprofit healthcare, Kristina offered consultancy services aimed at tackling community health issues and social barriers. This expertise served as the cornerstone of HSG's mission, positioning it as a dedicated solutions partner committed to amplifying community initiatives through the voices of patients.
In 2023, inspired by her volunteer work within the cystic fibrosis (CF) community and driven by her professional experience and personal values, Kristina identified gaps in the current support systems for individuals with CF. Motivated to align her passion with her skills, she transitioned Halite Solutions Group into a 501c3 nonprofit organization.
With a commitment to addressing the health and social needs of individuals with CF, HSG emphasizes the importance of cultivating partnerships to develop comprehensive resources, programs, and services. Through this collaborative approach, HSG aims to achieve a meaningful impact on the lives of those living with cystic fibrosis.
