Joint Commission accreditation usually hangs on a hospital wall, not a telehealth startup’s homepage. Kindbridge Behavioral Health just earned one anyway, and CEO Daniel Umfleet says waiting for someone to ask for it was never really an option.
Kindbridge treats gambling disorder, gaming-related harm and digital dependency through a fully virtual model. It recently received the Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval for Behavioral Health Care and Human Services Accreditation.
The timing coincides with G2E, and Umfleet is using the moment to make a broader case: Gambling treatment belongs in the same conversation as the rest of health care, not off to the side of it.
