Celebrating Entrepreneurs: Alfonso Montiel of SilverStone Health as a Finalist for 2025 Award

Celebrating Entrepreneurs: Alfonso Montiel's Journey

The excitement around the Entrepreneur Of The Year 2025 Southwest Award is palpable, especially with the announcement of its finalists. Among them is Alfonso Montiel, the founder of SilverStone Health, whose impactful vision for healthcare has earned him a spot as a prominent figure in this prestigious recognition.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Entrepreneur Of The Year program, which has become a hallmark of excellence in recognizing ambitious and innovative entrepreneurs across various sectors. The aim is to honor leaders who are not only breaking new ground in their respective fields but also making meaningful contributions to their communities.

Montiel's journey towards being recognized as a finalist is as inspiring as his company’s mission. After witnessing the struggles of chronically ill patients firsthand during a year spent volunteering at their bedsides, he felt a strong call to change the healthcare landscape. In 2020, he founded SilverStone Health, with a clear commitment to addressing the gaps in care for home-bound patients. This commitment to compassionate and effective care culminated in SilverStone becoming the only fully integrated, physician-led care-at-home provider in the United States, managing care for over 2,000 patients daily.

Under Montiel's leadership, SilverStone Health has not only grown but has transformed the way post-acute care is delivered. The company offers a comprehensive range of services, from Home Health and Hospice to Palliative Care and Specialty Medicine. With its proprietary platform, LORENZA, it effectively integrates data, design, and clinical insights to enhance patient care. The results speak volumes, showing a remarkable increase in patient care transitions from 2% to 18%, with a goal of reaching 30%.
