Health Enterprise Partners Launches RISE Above Award

On January 8, 2025, Health Enterprise Partners (HEP) announced the initiation of the RISE Above Award, a new accolade aimed at recognizing outstanding leadership within the healthcare sphere. This award is named in memory of Steve Filchock, a vital team member at HEP for over a decade who made significant contributions across more than 30 portfolio companies, offering his unique technical expertise before and after investment.

Betsy Seals, the notable CEO of Alerion Advisors, has been honored as the inaugural recipient of this prestigious award. Dave Tamburri, Managing Partner at HEP, praised Seals for exemplifying the award’s core principles: resilience, integrity, straightforwardness, and dedication to education and development. These values reflect the qualities that HEP seeks to promote within leadership roles in healthcare.

Steve Filchock expressed his delight in Betsy’s recognition, commending her authentic leadership style and dedication as truly deserving of the RISE Above Award. He noted, “It is genuinely an honor to be associated with HEP for the past 13 years, and it makes this recognition even more special.”

With two decades of experience in the managed care sector, Betsy Seals stands out as a nationally recognized leader. Her commitment to collaboration and courage in seeking positive outcomes have positioned her as an effective CEO, as noted by Scott Whyte, Partner of Value Creation and Board Member of Alerion. “Betsy’s courageous actions and firm beliefs drive us toward successful results for our clients and team members alike,” Whyte affirmed.

To further celebrate this occasion, HEP is making a donation in Betsy Seals' name to Team Filchock through the Tackle ALS Program, an organization that supports Massachusetts General Hospital. This gesture is particularly meaningful as Team Filchock will match the donation, showcasing solidarity and support for the cause.
