When a clinician on a high-acuity team at AllHealth Network had to step away unexpectedly due to a family emergency, there could have been a negative ripple effect on the clients in their care. But, inside this company — a behavioral health provider in Colorado — something else happened just as quickly.
Thanks to the team, there was no disruption in care. Within days, team members stepped in, not just to cover appointments, but to fully support each clientap care journey.
“Colleagues stepped up in a significant way, taking on additional responsibility while also ensuring they understood each clientap history, treatment plan, and unique needs,” said AllHealth Recovery Cooperative Clinical Supervisor Mackenzie Kryzer.
This kind of response doesn’t come from policy alone. It comes from culture.
“Taking care of each other is how we prepare to care for our next client,” said CEO Bill Henricks.
This supportive environment, built on trust, is one of the core reasons AllHealth Network has been named a 2026 Denver Post Top Workplaces organization for the seventh consecutive year.
Where Culture Becomes Care
At AllHealth Network, being named a Top Workplace since 2019 isn’t just about the perks and surface-level benefits. Itap about something far more foundational: ensuring that each person feels personally and professionally supported, and that every team is equipped to do their work well. No one carries the weight alone.
Transitioning to remote work during unsafe weather. Conducting routine safety training. Regularly checking in on staff’s well-being. These are all organizational standards the company’s leadership has implemented to prioritize holistic employee health.
They also recognize that employees bring full lives to work. Families, communities, and personal experiences aren’t distractions from the mission; they’re part of what strengthens it.
“When employees know they can rely on their team and their leadership during difficult moments, it strengthens collaboration, trust, and ultimately leads to better outcomes for the clients we serve,” said Kryzer.
Building Belonging Through UNITI
In high-stress environments, culture is tested in real time. But support at AllHealth Network is also built into day-to-day work life. Through the organization’s Understanding, Nurturing, Inclusivity, Teamwork, and Intersectionality (UNITI) initiative, employees have access to Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) that increase belonging across identities and experiences.
Some of these groups include:
- LGBTQIA+
- Neurodivergent in the Workplace
- Parents of Young Children
They’re all spaces that create opportunities for connection, shared understanding, and peer support.
A Culture That Hears and Responds
Creating a supportive workplace isn’t accidental, and at AllHealth Network, itap reinforced through intentional systems.
Weekly Complex Case Consultations bring together clinicians from across disciplines to problem-solve high-risk and challenging client situations. Itap an important layer of collaboration for what can be emotionally demanding work.
Monthly employee rounding also gives team members dedicated one-on-one time with managers to share feedback, celebrate wins, and raise concerns. Questions like “Do you feel valued?” and “What should we do differently?” aren’t rhetorical; they’re part of an ongoing feedback loop that informs leadership decisions every month.
Things like regular psychological safety surveys also ensure employees feel as comfortable as possible speaking up, learning, and contributing.
From Internal Care to Community Impact
The connection between employee well-being and client outcomes is clear.
As Community Engagement Team Supervisor Ally Burdick explained, “Burnout is a serious concern in a field like ours, and when we feel safe to lean on our team members… we create a culture where humans can grow and thrive. Before we give to others, we are conscious not to pour from an empty cup.”
Clients feel that difference, too. They witness it in how staff show up with presence, empathy, and consistency. And in many cases, they carry it forward, with some even returning to AllHealth Network as peer specialists, bringing their own powerful lived experiences into the mental health care model in Denver. Google reviews also confirm how happy clients are with an average of 4.6 out of 5 stars.
Growing Without Losing What Matters
As AllHealth Network continues to grow, its focus is not on changing the culture, but on expanding what already works. They recognize that their clinicians, case managers, peer specialists, and support staff are the foundation of everything they do.
“The recognition of AllHealth Network among the Top Workplaces is a direct reflection of our people and the environment we have built together,” said Henricks. “We remain committed to scaling that same culture of support, connection, and shared purpose across every new program, team, and community we serve. The quality of care we provide begins with our people, which is why we continue to invest intentionally in ensuring staff have the tools, resources, and support they need to do their work well.”
The moral of the story? Take care of your people, and they’ll take care of everything else.
