Denise D. Foulkes

As founder of Hygeia Integrated Health LLC, I bring over 35 years of clinical social work experience from a variety of settings including corporate, hospital, hospice and home care, early intervention, education, mental health, and private practice. I am a graduate of the Columbia University Graduate School of Social Work. Prior to my social work career, I worked as a pharmaceutical marketer at Johnson & Johnson and Bristol-Myers Squibb after receiving my MBA from the Kellogg School at Northwestern University.

My diverse combination of education and work experience gives me a unique perspective on how to deliver emotional, behavioral, and mental health care solutions that address Hygeia Integrated Health LLC's mission of putting wellness back into healthcare. My early vision for Hygeia was inspired by the fact that 75% of all healthcare money spent in this country goes toward emotional, behavioral, or mental health issues that are preventable, or that can reduce overall healthcare spending and improve health and wellbeing when treated early.
