PORTLAND, ME – January 25th, 2024 – SoulBeing, the world’s first complementary and alternative medicine network focused on whole-person health, today announced that they have been selected by the Dempsey Center to provide holistic care options and deliver easy care navigation to the Dempsey Center employees and their families.

Through this partnership, the Dempsey Center is solidifying its commitment to supporting its team by embracing innovation in the healthcare benefits space and supplementing their existing health plan with additional evidence-based health and wellness options.

“The Dempsey Center can only continue to provide the remarkable level of care and service that we are known for if we find new, robust ways to support our people providing this care to our community,” said Lauren Danie-Briggs, Director of People and Talent for the Dempsey Center. “Partnering with SoulBeing demonstrates our commitment to doing just that, and our staff are excited about this new benefit.”

The SoulBeing platform will now be available to employees of The Dempsey Center and their dependents, offering on-demand access to a network of services from conventional, complementary, and alternative healthcare providers. With over 50 care categories including acupuncture, functional medicine, naturopathic doctors, nutrition support, mental health providers, and many more, the goal of adding SoulBeing to an employee benefits strategy is to make it easy for employees to manage their overall health, both in-person and virtually.

“It’s unsurprising that we are finding such incredible partners in the Not-For-Profit space,” says SoulBeing CEO, Colleen Kavanagh. “Leadership at the Dempsey Center sees clearly both the unique requirements of supporting a team of caregivers, as well as the individual needs of each of their valued employees. We’re honored to have the opportunity to help them support their team.”
