Sign-Up Now for "Achieving Success
in Population Health Management
with Integrated Care"

|
Join us for this special FREE webinar on Thursday, September 8, 2:30pm – 3:30pm EDT to learn how integrated care supports population health management. Register here!
Behavioral health has a significant impact on population health organizations addressing the quadruple aims of reducing costs, improving population health, patient experience, and provider well-being. Every year, 1 in 5 American adults report experiencing a mental health disorder. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, that number has doubled, with 40% of Americans reportedly struggling with a mental health or substance use disorder. With behavioral health needs soaring, population health organizations have seen the impact both issues have on health outcomes and the total cost of care. This has led to an increased demand for innovative and evidence-based strategies.
This free webinar is organized by The Population Health Alliance and co-hosted by PHA member NeuroFlow. This special event follows the publication of an issue brief in May developed by the PHA Behavioral Health Taskforce. Our expert panel includes:

Matt Miclette, MPH, MS, RN
