Stephen Bright joined LIVING WELL Magazine as the Publisher of these new editions in the greater Kansas City metro in January, 2012. Bright, who is a Certified Senior Advisor, has strong ties to the greater Kansas City metro, especially Johnson County, where he resides. “You just can’t beat the quality of people here and the sense of community…it just felt like home immediately,” Bright stated after moving to the greater Kansas City metro fifteen years ago from Iowa.

Bright, who has always dreamt of starting his own magazine since college when he was studying mass communication before settling on a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration, is already a successful business owner, operating several Comfort Keepers home care franchises for the last eleven years throughout the greater Kansas City Metro. Bright is joined by his mother, Linda Ahlhelm, who oversees Axiom Home Health Care a Kansas licensed Home Health Agency. Together, they have provided services for almost 3200 seniors. “Our goal has always been to wake up every day knowing we make our living by making a difference in the lives of those we serve.” Immediately prior to Comfort Keepers, Bright worked for an elder law attorney and several long-term care facilities. He is also currently the President of MoKan SR Alliance, a professional services group for healthcare professionals serving seniors in both Johnson County, KS and Jackson County, MO.

“With first-hand experience caring for loved-ones and seeing the importance of proper planning and education regarding healthcare, I was instantly drawn to LIVING WELL’s focus on helping to educate the 50 and older population,” says Bright, who also hosts educational symposiums and workshops almost monthly for both the general public and healthcare professionals seeking continuing education credits. “I aim to utilize my talents and connections to bring the best local resources together in one place: LIVING WELL Magazine.” he states, “It is a privilege to help educate my own community on healthcare, finance, legal, aging and lifestyle topics that are of interest to those who live right here in my own back yard.”
