We meet Fridays from 7 AM - 8:30 AM to grow our businesses through trusted connections and qualified referrals. Highrise Connection is a proud chapter of Business Network International (BNI)—a global organization built on the philosophy of “Givers Gain.” That means we believe when we help others grow their business, our own success follows. Our mission is to create a strong, local network of professionals who consistently pass qualified business referrals to one another—not cold leads, but real connections that lead to real growth. We meet every Friday from 7:00–8:30 AM at Office Evolution, 16185 Los Gatos Blvd #205, Los Gatos, CA. During these sessions, members and guests have the opportunity to:

- Deliver short business pitches (infomercials)
- Share referrals
- Learn from 2 10 minute member presentations
- Build long-term relationships rooted in trust and accountability

We’re excited to hear from Dr. Kimia Shakerpoor Battistoni () of In Health Clinic (), who’s breaking down a topic every patient has questions about: in-network vs. out-of-network insurance — and what it really means for your care.

She’ll be turning her popular IG post (go check it out!) on the subject into a full presentation, covering how coverage works, what patients should know, and why out-of-network care often allows for more personalized, comprehensive treatment.
