Welkin empowers health organizations to deliver patient-centered care.

Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

Welkin is committed to creating an environment where everyone’s perspectives are encouraged and heard. We work to understand how inclusion is experienced at Welkin; we set goals to improve team diversity, ensure a supportive culture that impacts retention, and put initiatives in place to increase feelings of inclusion. We keep our efforts and results transparent, while building a space for this to be an ongoing conversation team-wide.

We’ve made diversity & inclusion integral to the structure of the company we’re building, and scale our team and our values from that framework. Welkin’s leaders are deeply involved in our D&I initiatives, which is necessary for making it an enduring priority at every level of the company.

We are constantly learning, as well as doing the research and experimentation necessary to nurture our D&I efforts—and Welkin as a whole—in the right direction.

Our history

About 5 years ago, Gideon Wald and Chase Hensel agreed to join forces to make their own thing—a piece of software to address a social problem. A few months later, Welkin was born.

Originally conceived as a coaching app to support people with diabetes, Welkin evolved into patient management software when they realized there wasn’t a great tool for health professionals to strengthen relationships with patients. And the tools they were using weren’t originally intended for health care. So Gideon and Chase set out to change that.

And here we are today.
