Envoy America Promotes Monica Escalante to Vice President, Operations

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., January 6, 2022 (Newswire.com) - Envoy America, a technology-enabled platform for companionship, assistance and transportation for ambulatory and wheelchair-bound older adults, announced it promoted Monica Escalante to Vice President, Operations. 

Founded in 2015 in Scottsdale, Arizona, Envoy America has invented a new category of care through leveraging human compassion and technology. Since its inception, the company focused on turning an untapped supply of compassionate talent, 45- to 60-year-old "younger" older adults and stay-at-home parents, into a new caregiver that the company calls Envoy Companions. 

"Our Envoy Companions across the country have been addressing the Social Determinants of Health, including isolation, disengagement and loneliness since 2015, for older adults who stand to benefit from companionship, assistance and transportation services," said Escalante. "By providing access to social support outside and inside the home, those using the Envoy service are less likely to need costly medical intervention and more able to live independent, healthy and more socially active lives."

"I am very pleased to announce and congratulate Monica on her promotion. In her new role, Monica will be overseeing all business operations performance across the nation to include service delivery and Envoy Companion recruiting and retention," said K. C. Kanaan, Envoy America founder and Chief Executive Officer. "Monica first led the expansion of Envoy America in the Pacific Northwest in 2017, earning trust with corporate clients, and helped to grow a large team of local Envoy Companions. Later on and as part of a strategic growth initiative, Monica went on to open 70+ new territories across the country to obtain market share in those new geographies."

The company is in an excellent position to continue to grow into new markets across the U.S. and expand its partnerships with Health Plans, Accountable Care and Health Care Organizations and Senior Living Communities to help keep our older adults safe, healthy and independent. Envoy America is poised to solidify its position as the first nationwide provider of its concierge services.
