Pacific Neurosciences Institute (PNI) provides Head and Neck Surgery, as well as advanced Neurology care, for several Providence Hospitals in the L.A. and Orange County regions. PNI has led Providence Hospitals Saint John's (Santa Monica), Little Company of Mary (Torrance), Holy Cross (Mission Hills), and St. Joseph (Burbank) to US News & World Report Best Regional Hospital rating in Neurology and Neurosurgery. 

PNI is a multi-specialty provider, delivering complex care at disparate clinic sites across the LA/OC region. PNI understands that consistency is the hallmark of quality. They chose Elemeno to help synchronize and standardize processes institute-wide, to allow PNI to deliver the same high-quality experience to every patient visit, at every location.

“PNI has a long record in advancing novel approaches to problems and providing the highest quality care possible to our patients,” said Dr. Chester Griffiths, founder of PNI. “Elemeno’s innovative approach to training for healthcare staff is highly compatible with PNI’s leading-edge philosophy. Now, PNI will leverage the Elemeno platform to drive value, quality, safety and best practice.”

We have reached $700K! Thank you and welcome to all new investors. You are in great company. Today we would like to share the story of our investors Peter and Kathy Balestreri.

Kathy & Pete Balestreri

Q: What is your experience in the healthcare industry? 

A: "I began working at UCSF in the mid-seventies filling a variety of administrative roles and ending my career as Executive Director of Patient Services and Chief of Staff to the CEO. In this last role at USCF, I was responsible for improving our patient experience at all locations, as well as concierge services, urgent referral and international services, executive health services, and fundraising. Working with the CEO and University Development leadership, I helped to raise more than $600M to build UCSF Medical Center at Mission Bay which was very rewarding and opened in February 2015. 

"In mid-2015, I began a second career as a healthcare consultant working with Academic Medical Centers and community hospitals to establish and improve concierge services, executive health practices, international programs, patient experience initiatives and philanthropic strategic plans. I also serve as a volunteer with a number of nonprofits in San Francisco and a mentor to students with a San Francisco/Oakland based organization providing scholarships for high-school students from low-income families."
 

Q: Why did you invest in Elemeno?

A: "I was fortunate to get to know Arup and Elemeno during my tenure as UCSF Health Executive Director. I believe in his integrity, professionalism, and his dedication to patient service. For many years, my husband and I have been fortunate enough to rely on the UCSF retirement fund to primarily handle the direction of our investments. We have maintained a philosophy of taking medium risks and have thus far been very fortunate.

"We are now at a point in our lives where we can further our involvement in personal investment opportunities in areas with which we are both familiar and feel impressed and confident in the path forward. Knowing the management team and being familiar with the concept of Elemeno's product and services, we are excited to get involved and invest in this company. As we have personally experienced the product and continue to keep in touch with our former colleagues in healthcare, we firmly believe the Elemeno product will both better serve the healthcare community and be a financially stable and productive investment."
 

Q: Which other companies or funds have you invested in? 
 

A: "We have primarily invested in the tax-deferred annuity funds managed by the UC system and in personal ventures by friends and colleagues in whom we firmly believe. Our goal is to have a firm belief in the product and the people. Arup and his team exceed these goals."

Today is a big day! We are excited to announce our partnership with the National Perinatal Information Center (NPIC), the leader in maternal perinatal & neonatal analytics! You can read all about our partnership here.

This is the first of several major channel partnerships emerging to multiply our sales. We traditionally sell Elemeno into one hospital at a time, and then expand across departments in each hospital. These channel partnerships help us access many hospitals at one time, by extending the trust relationships already forged between our partner organizations and their members. 

And in the spirit of building community and democratizing access to best practices, NPIC will be sharing their practices to all hospitals in the Elemeno community. We are proud to share a joint vision to improve maternal and neonatal outcomes, and bring health equity to all!

Come join us now! We already have over $700,000 in from investors big and small-- hospital execs, doctors, nurses, and patients. We want you, too!

We put together our campaign page and then locked it while filing with the SEC. During the interval to campaign launch, we received our latest major recognition!

Elemeno won 1st place in the Jewish Healthcare Foundation 2021 Healthcare Safety Challenge, from a select group of 125 innovations across 15 countries. The Challenge was sponsored by the Jewish Healthcare Foundation which aims to eliminate medical errors. Here's the story. 

JHF President Dr. Karen Feinstein, a 22 year veteran patient safety advocate, noted, “We need this kind of bold thinking to address the persistent problem of medical error.” The judges especially loved how Elemeno equips frontline staff with the JIT support they need to be their best, and how Elemeno makes it easy to share and spread best practices across hospitals and systems.

Our campaign is starting fast, with nearly $100,000 raised in less than a week. Come join the movement! We want YOU to be on our team!
