Douglas Colbeth is a co-founder of MedCircle and one of the most successful hi-tech entrepreneurs in America. He has led two different ventures to become public companies – where both achieved multi-billion-dollar enterprise valuations. In 1996 Colbeth was named by Time Magazine as one of the “Golden Geeks” of the Internet. 

While co-founding and leading both ventures he also prioritized the implementation of preventative mental health care programs. These innovative programs dramatically enhanced the culture of these organizations, along with improving key business metrics such as; lower turnover, reduced recruiting costs, less sick days taken, and higher employee satisfaction. 

MedCircle has taken these programs and packaged them so any sized employer can easily and affordably implement them. This includes Leadership Training, In-depth Education, and Weekly Live Access to MedCircle Workshops which discuss therapies for various mental health conditions. More importantly, these programs organically create informal employee support groups – which provide enormous peer support. “I have witnessed employees forming lifetime relationships with one another, and the employer creating a next generation workplace” – said Colbeth.

“I believe employees are the Foundational Asset – upon which all other assets are created. The time is now for employers to more effectively address the mental health challenges of their employees and create the Next Generation Workplace”. 

In addition to the launching of MedCircle, Doug and his wife Margaret have been long-time philanthropists in the area of mental health. In 2002, the Colbeth’s partnered with the University of Illinois Medical Center to create The Colbeth Children’s Mental Health Clinic in Chicago.
