EY US unveils Alfonso Montiel of SilverStone Health as an Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2025 Southwest Award finalist
Entrepreneur Of The Year celebrates ambitious entrepreneurs who are shaping the future
DALLAS, April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) announced the finalists for the prestigious Entrepreneur Of The Year 2025 Southwest Award. Now in its 40th year, the Entrepreneur Of The Year program celebrates the bold leaders who disrupt markets through the world's most ground-breaking companies, revolutionizing industries and making a profound impact on communities. The program honors bold entrepreneurs whose innovations shape the future and pave the way for a thriving economy and a hopeful tomorrow.
SilverStone cares for over 2,000 patients daily and is the only integrated post-acute care-at-home provider in the US.An independent panel of judges selected Alfonso Montiel, a two-time Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2025 Southwest Award finalist, among the CEOs and founders representing 42 companies for their entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth and lasting impact in building long-term value.
After a year volunteering at the bedside of the chronically ill, Alfonso Montiel founded SilverStone Health in 2020—not just to build a company, but to fix a broken corner of healthcare. What began as a mission to serve the often-forgotten has become the nation's only fully integrated, physician-led care-at-home provider, serving thousands daily. From Home Health and Hospice to Palliative Care and Specialty Medicine, SilverStone delivers care with dignity, precision, and heart. Powered by LORENZA—its proprietary platform combining data, design, and clinical insight—patient transitions have surged from 2% to 18%, with a target of 30%. The result: seamless continuity, improved outcomes, and recurring revenue in a $473B post-acute market growing 6% annually.
"This isn't just a company—it's a calling," said Montiel. "We set out to bend the arc of healthcare toward doing the right thing for every home-bound patient, every single time. Today, we're proving it—and we're just getting started."
Entrepreneur Of The Year honors business leaders for their ingenuity, courage and entrepreneurial spirit. The program celebrates original founders who bootstrapped their business from inception or who raised outside capital to grow their company; transformational CEOs who infused innovation into an existing organization to catapult its trajectory; and multigenerational family business leaders who reimagined a legacy business model to strengthen it for the future.
Regional award winners will be announced on June 21st during a special celebration in Dallas and will become lifetime members of an esteemed community of Entrepreneur Of The Year alumni from around the world. The winners will then be considered by the National judges for the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Awards, which will be presented in November at the annual Strategic Growth Forum®, one of the nation's most prestigious gatherings of high-growth, market-leading companies.
