OUR FOUNDING STORY
The Inspiration Behind our Journey
At the heart of every innovation lies a challenge that needs overcoming. For us, it began with a personal crisis: navigating the complexities of the healthcare system during a family health scare. Our founder, amidst the demands of a bustling professional life, found himself grappling with an inefficient system filled with endless appointments, unclear insurance policies, and a mountain of paperwork, all while caring for a sick child.
This ordeal was not unique. Conversations with others revealed a shared struggle for consistent support, both within and beyond hospital walls, highlighting a glaring gap in healthcare options. The root cause? A healthcare landscape monopolized by a few, keeping costs high and options limited for those feeling trapped in the system. A system that heavily emphasizes treating illnesses over preventative measures.
This insight led to the creation of Lindenhaus (wholly owned by Kaigo Health Inc.)—not merely as a commercial venture, but as a mission to provide a deeply transformative level of care and support within a healthcare system desperately craving change. By stepping outside traditional paths, assembling a dedicated team of advocates, doctors, and specialists, and connecting directly with individuals and organizations, we've crafted an alternative and more sustaining route to true wellness. After seeing early success in New York, we raised a venture round led by Micromanagement Ventures a fund focused on media, technology and player health founded by the late NBA Commissioner Emeritus David Stern and John Kosner (former ESPN executive and founder of Kosner Media) to scale the company nationwide. Since then, we’ve worked with tens of thousands of members and major sports and entertainment franchises across multiple U.S and European cities to support them on their journey to optimal health and attaining excellence. Our approach emphasizes evidence based programs, comprehensive integrative care, a clear pricing structure, and the conviction that a well-rounded life is crucial to achieving optimal health.
In this vision, the warmth of hospitality—how individuals are cared for, treated and supported—holds equal weight with the proper nutrition, exercise, and community engagement as foundational pillars of wellness. This vision has led us to collaborate with the world's premier hospitality brands, ensuring our members receive unparalleled care and lifestyle improvements.
OUR COMMITMENT
We believe a healthy life is rooted in timeless values: selfless service, a strong family foundation, love and respect for our neighbors and nature, and faithful stewardship of all entrusted to us—including our physical bodies—as an expression of gratitude to our Creator for the life we are blessed to live. Guided by these principles, we create spaces and experiences that inspire health, purpose, and harmony.
At Lindenhaus, we're not just about making changes to global healthcare as we know it; we're committed to fostering a healthier world—one person, one family, one community at a time. Healthy individuals create thriving communities, and that's the simple principle we live by.
