About Healthbeam Diabetes and Wellness Center
Where Compassion Meets Clinical Expertise in Diabetes Care
Our STORY
Why Healthbeam Exists
At Healthbeam Diabetes and Wellness Center, our story is deeply personal. We were founded by Dr. Adeola Akindana, a Family Nurse Practitioner and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist who lives with diabetes herself. This gives us a unique and powerful perspective—you’re not just another patient, and this isn’t just another clinic.
We know what it’s like to face the daily realities of managing blood sugar, making food choices, and fighting through exhaustion. That’s why we meet you right where you are, guiding you with care, compassion, and expert support—one step at a time.
Our Mission
To care, educate, inform, and empower individuals and communities to take control of diabetes and its complications while promoting total wellness—tailored uniquely to each person.
What We Believe
We believe that:
- Small steps lead to big results
- Your culture, lifestyle, and values matter in your care
- Support is just as important as science
- Diabetes doesn’t define you—it’s just one part of your story
- Healing happens when you feel heard, respected, and empowered
Our Vision
We envision a world where no one feels alone in their diabetes journey. A world where people living with diabetes are informed, equipped, and confident to live long, healthy lives—free of shame, guilt, or confusion.
