At Kinumi, we believe fostering social connections is as crucial as promoting physical health. As forward-thinking leaders, it's essential to consider the untapped potential of social ties for older adults. Research from institutions like the Mayo Clinic and the National Institute of Aging highlights the profound impact of connection on health outcomes for older adults. Here’s what the science says: 💛Daily functioning: The University of California San Francisco found that older adults who often felt lonely had a 59% greater risk of decline in daily tasks like climbing stairs or walking. 💛Reduced depression and anxiety: Social isolation is a major risk factor for depression in older adults, while strong social bonds significantly lower stress and anxiety levels. 💛Enhanced immune system: Stanford Medicine research suggests that robust social connections can boost antibody production, enhancing the body’s ability to fight off illnesses. 💛Quality of life: Social connections have a more substantial impact on happiness than income or even physical health. Social connection is a core element of Kinumi's care. Our CareConcierges build genuine relationships with our clients while promoting belonging and community. Our monthly Kinumi-hosted events further strengthen these connections. Why Partner with Kinumi? Invest in your people AND your bottom line. ✅Boost productivity and loyalty: Supporting employees' families reduces stress and absenteeism, leading to higher productivity and loyalty. ✅Attractive benefits packages: Comprehensive care solutions like Kinumi make your company more desirable, helping you attract and retain top talent. ✅Positive ROI: Investing in holistic care translates to better health outcomes and lower healthcare costs, delivering a strong return on investment.

A stellar feature from STAT's Mario Aguilar out today. Freespira CEO Joseph Perekupka shares insights on our measured growth strategy, recent investment round, and plans for the funds. Point32Health's Jason Parent and Chorus Community Health Plans's Mark Rakowski speak to their experience partnering with Freespira, and Aphelion Capital's Ned Scheetz speaks to the "slow and steady" strategy behind Freespira's growth. Accessing mental health care is challenging, and PTSD and panic disorder often go undetected and untreated. As this piece highlights, Freespira offers an opportunity to increase access to care and potentially avoid more expensive care downstream. And we're expanding the number of individuals who can benefit from Freespira by creating strong relationships with regional health plans to ensure sustainable adoption and reimbursement.

I just finished an 8-week long course on how to incorporate nature and nature-based therapies in my practice. So, anyone who is interested in working outside of the office and in nature, feel free to reach out to me! There are lots of therapeutic benefits to incorporating nature in therapy, such as being in touch with one's identity, and using nature as a metaphor to help get clarity on any big questions or intentions one has. I've been wanting to find more ways to be creative in person and virtually and this program has helped me find tools to do that. And, you don't have to be in person to experience nature-based therapies. As long as you have some green space, I can work with you remotely! #naturetherapy, #therapy, #counseling, #experientialtherapies #somatictherapy

Intrapreneurs create new and innovative products or services inside their organisations. Aren’t these great niche terms!
