- We are now completing the transformation we started a year ago. Our rapidly progressed profit improvement program creates a solid foundation, and the new structure will take us forward towards achieving an adjusted EBITA margin of at least 12% in 2025, in line with our financial targets, comments Ville Iho, President, and CEO of Terveystalo.

- I warmly welcome Sari Heinonen to Terveystalo and to our Executive team. Sari brings to our team ironclad commercial expertise and experience in leading customer-focused digital channels and services. Henri Mäenalanen and Marja-Leena Tuomola have successfully led our profit improvement program which is well ahead of schedule. After the completion of the program, Henri will continue the work in Portfolio Businesses. I warmly thank Mikko Tainio for the successful reorganisation of the Portfolio Businesses. The business area is now ready for the next phase under Henri's leadership, Ville Iho continues.

- The purpose of Terveystalo to fight for a healthier life appeals to me greatly, especially because of its broad social relevance. Finns are increasingly interested in their health and want to invest in it in a preventive way. I am really excited to be able to develop Terveystalo's services further together with the company's top professionals, Sari Heinonen says.
