About Avalana Health
Avalana Health is a virtual telehealth clinic based in Long Island, New York, specializing in women’s health with a functional medicine approach. Led by Ellen Boland, a Certified Registered Nurse with a specialization in Women's Health and Functional Medicine. Avalana Health is committed to providing personalized, holistic care to women of all ages.
Our clinic focuses on uncovering the root causes of health issues such as hormonal imbalances, chronic fatigue, fertility challenges, and digestive problems. We believe that true wellness comes from understanding the body as an interconnected system — recognizing the delicate balance between hormones, gut health, immune function, and mental well-being.
At Avalana Health, our mission is to empower women to regain control over their health and vitality. We go beyond simply treating symptoms; instead, we work with each patient to create individualized care plans that address the underlying causes of their health concerns. Whether you are navigating complex health issues or simply looking to optimize your wellness, our goal is to guide you towards feeling vibrant and living life to the fullest.
Join us at Avalana Health, where we are dedicated to transforming women’s health through compassionate, expert care.
