Kimberly Carleson didn’t set out to become a leader in health care reform. Life forced her into it.
When her husband was diagnosed with stage four metastatic bladder cancer, Kimberly found herself navigating a health care system built for confusion, not care. Pregnant and raising a young daughter, she refused to accept the death sentence doctors gave her husband. Her advocacy, persistence, and leadership saved his life—and revealed a deeper calling.
That experience became the foundation for U.S. Beacon, the company she founded to fight bloated medical billing and protect employers from skyrocketing health costs. Kimberly’s team reviews claims for self-funded plans, finding and eliminating ineligible charges—often cutting 20–40% from monthly claims. Her work restores fairness and trust in a system where both are in short supply.
Her leadership isn’t just professional. It’s deeply personal. Kimberly speaks with clarity, strength, and purpose—because she’s lived what most only fear.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
