Close Concerns is a San Francisco-based organization focused on wellness and fitness services with a specialization in diabetes and obesity information. It began in 2002 when Kelly Close founded it as a solo consultancy, and it has since expanded into a broader information business centered on therapies, technologies, and market dynamics in these areas. The company produces and curates news and insights through programs such as Diabetes Close Up and Closer Look and collaborates with its sister firm, dQ&A, to offer market research and consulting to corporate clients. It helped launch diaTribe, an education resource for patients and caregivers, which now operates under The diaTribe Foundation as an independent nonprofit. Close Concerns also advocates for better education, access to innovative therapies, and a healthcare system that supports personalized care for people with or at risk of diabetes or obesity. Through its associate program, the company develops future leaders in medicine and research and positions itself as a key information source on the business of diabetes and obesity within the wellness sector.
