Blomquist Hale Solutions

What Blomquist Hale Solutions does

Blomquist Hale Solutions is a Utah-headquartered Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provider founded in 1986 by Dave Blomquist and Brent Hale, originally operating as Blomquist Hale Consulting before rebranding in 2020. The company sells B2B subscription contracts to employers, government agencies, school districts, and other organizations, who in turn provide confidential counseling and crisis services at no cost to their employees and dependents. Its service portfolio centers on a Solution-Focused Counseling Model and a Direct-Care EAP architecture that, per company claims, resolves more than 80% of cases in-house without outside referrals and engages 2-3x more employees than competing EAP approaches.

The underlying delivery infrastructure combines six physical offices across Utah (Murray, Draper, Orem, Farmington, Ogden, Logan) with a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform supporting in-person, virtual, and phone-based sessions, plus a mobile app and a nationwide clinician network accessed via a toll-free number. Beyond the core EAP, Blomquist Hale operates specialized programs for first responders (the largest such program in Utah), students, state-government employees (the State of Utah Life Assistant Program, in place since 2006), and DOT-regulated employers via Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) evaluations priced at $550 per case. The firm also runs free workshops and support groups as both a service and a top-of-funnel channel.

Commercially, the company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors and operates on a sales-led B2B2C go-to-market through HR and benefits administrators. Under CEO Cameron McBride (appointed November 2019), the company added 162 new client organizations from 2018-2020 and another 141 from 2021-2023, reaching a base of more than 300 partnered organizations and 77+ contracted cities and counties. Ancillary revenue includes the $550 pay-as-you-go DOT SAP evaluation and two legacy joint ventures with the University of Utah: Behavioral Health Strategies (BHS, 1996) and Orriant (2008).
