Our Story

Trung Tran, Dr. Karim El- Sherief, and Kostas Nikolakopulos
Salus Founders and Chief Medical Officer

“We started this company based on the belief that true healing comes from addressing the root cause of a condition, not just treating the symptoms.”

In today's world, pills and procedures are seen as the default prescription. We believe there is a better way forward. That's why we have built Salus, and why we have made it our mission to re-imagine the way patients recover from and manage cardiovascular diseases. We strive to show patients that there is an alternative to the endless cycle of pills, appointments, and procedures.If this resonates with you, join us. Together we will embark on our collective journey of hope and healing.
