We recently had the chance to sit down with The Business Journals, which operates local news networks, including the Denver Business Journal, reaching business communities in more than 40 U.S. markets. The Business Journals works to spotlight the region’s fastest-growing companies through its Fast 50 Awards and celebrate great workplace culture through Best Places to Work. We appreciated the chance to share what we’re building at Benes Companies and left hopeful about future possibilities.

Here’s what we shared.

We’re a veteran-owned company fighting to win the war on complex illness by turning a fragmented U.S. healthcare system into a more integrated and synchronous one.

Complex illnesses hit more than one body system and more than one life domain, and they’re now the top killers of Americans: 75% of U.S. deaths, 194 million adults and 22 million children are affected, despite the U.S. spending 2x what our near-peer nations spend, and getting half the results-that’s 4x worse!

Why? Our acute care-focused system just isn’t built to treat complex illness. Healing these types of illnesses requires coordinated care across all three care sectors, all four care models, all seven healing stages, and all seven life domains.

We’re building toward that at every level, from the individual patient up to policy.We’re working to change it by strategically positioning education and resources at every level of the system.

Here’s how that breaks down:

Clients & Caregivers. Individual and group care coaching help people navigate complex illness and the current care ecosystem more adeptly.

Professionals. Founder coaching to help care professionals build more impactful, sustainable, and holistically aware practices.

Organizations. Consulting apply military intelligence frameworks for systemic change at the institutional and national level.

Culture. Media, such as our podcast, educational videos, keynote speaking, and blogs, to shift public understanding of complex illness.

Technology. Tying it together is The Care We Need, our whole-person care coordination platform for both client matching and professional collaboration.

I look forward to the future possibilities this conversation opens up, and to sharing more as things develop.

If any of this resonates, whether you’re navigating complex illness yourself, building a practice as a care professional, or leading an organization ready for systemic change, we’d love to talk about how we can help.
