OUR STORY

Transforming Lives Through Compassion, Care, and Connection

Managed Health Connections began not in a board room, but in a home filled with hope, resilience, and love. Over 20 years ago, our founders, Kim and Carol Johnson, adopted a 2-year-old boy who had been exposed to illegal substances at birth and removed from his biological parents’ care at 5 months. They knew his future would bring unique challenges — yet with their dedication and support, that little boy is now a thriving university graduate and working professional.

Their journey inspired our company’s mission:

To improve substance use outcomes with technology that provides easier access to care.
