Entrepreneur Of The Year celebrates ambitious
entrepreneurs who are shaping the future
DALLAS, June 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ernst & Young
LLP (EY US) announced that Alfonso
Montiel, CEO of SilverStone Health was named an Entrepreneur
Of The Year® 2024 Southwest Award finalist. Now in
its 38th year, Entrepreneur Of The Year is the preeminent
competitive business award for audacious leaders who disrupt
markets, revolutionize sectors and have a transformational impact
on lives. Over the past four decades, the program has recognized
the daring entrepreneurs with big ideas and bold actions that
reshape our world.
Five years ago, Montiel discovered his life's mission as a
hospice volunteer, providing solace to those who would have
otherwise faced their final moments alone. Through these profound
experiences, he began to see the cracks within the at-home sector
of the healthcare system and the physical and emotional toll it was
having on patients who were leaving the hospital, tasked with
traversing an unknown system while simultaneously managing a
complex medical condition.
Driven by these experiences, Montiel's mission crystallized: No
one should have to walk through the healthcare journey alone,
especially not the most vulnerable among us. He envisioned a system
where all necessary home-based services were connected and
available in one place, ensuring patients and families could
seamlessly transition to the health services they needed as their
conditions changed. Montiel wanted to create a new model in
healthcare that truly provides continuous, uninterrupted care while
also removing the complexities of navigating the healthcare and
insurance systems. He believed that by shouldering the burden of
care coordination and addressing the medical needs of patients,
they could enjoy better health outcomes, improve their quality of
life, and have the freedom to focus on the most meaningful aspects
of their lives before they ever needed hospice.
This vision led to the founding of SilverStone Health, a
revolutionary physician-led model for post-hospital care at home
with fully integrated services, including home health, palliative
care, hospice, specialty physician services, telemedicine, wound
care, and professional home assistance. Designed to help patients
and families facing injuries, chronic conditions, advanced
diseases, and terminal illnesses, each service is delivered to
patients' homes, nursing facilities, rehabilitation centers, memory
care environments, and senior living communities. What makes
SilverStone Health truly special is its proprietary system designed
to fill the gaps in healthcare, preventing patients and families
from falling through the cracks. Starting with just 17 patients,
SilverStone Health's compassionate and coordinated approach has
resonated deeply within the community. Today, the company serves
several thousand patients daily and is a beacon of hope and
stability for patients and caregivers who no longer have to walk
the healthcare journey alone.
In addition to Entrepreneur Of The Year, EY US supports other
entrepreneurs through the EY Entrepreneurial Winning
Women™ program and the EY Entrepreneurs Access
Network to help connect women founders and Black and
Hispanic/Latino entrepreneurs, respectively, with the resources,
network and access needed to unlock their full potential.
