Adam Berkowitz's belief that the most important asset businesses have to manage is their people and his desire to create an agency founded on that principle, led him to launch Simpara in October 2016. Adam’s passion is providing client companies with strategic opportunities and tools to help them enhance employee engagement, promote health and untangle the complex issues that accompany modern healthcare systems and regulations—to enable employers to be excited about the benefits they offer. A 2015 St. Louis Business Journal 30 under 30 honoree, Adam is an active member of the Webster Groves Chamber of Commerce, the Human Resource Management Association and the Missouri Venture Forum.
Cosmos’ leadership has embraced the concept of whole-person wellness. The old way of procuring insurance was harming employees: expensive care, delayed care, too much red tape, and high premiums. The leadership team has fully embraced their dedicated primary care team. When employees call out for sick days, the HR team ensures that they have appointments scheduled that day with Rezilient Health. Missed work has reduced dramatically since Cosmos implemented the whole-person wellness program.

Waterford Union HS worked tirelessly for over five years to transition their health plan from a fully-insured program to a high-performance health plan. The Superintendent, Luke Francois, made it his personal mission to get this accomplished to benefit the district, the teachers, and the taxpayers. On July 1, 2022, after being introduced to Simpara they established a plan that put them on a path to save more than $333,000 in the first 12 months. Luke is now personally invested in spreading the message across the country as a hired consultant for superintendents throughout the US. The next evolution of their health plan will include the adoption of a near-site or shared primary care clinic with other area schools and employers.
