Mental health and substance use care continue to be far from affordable or accessible for millions of people in need.

Key Points: 
  • Mental health and substance use care continue to be far from affordable or accessible for millions of people in need.
  • However, the gap takes a notable step toward closing today as Forge Health announces a significant board and advisory expansion.
  • The New York-based provider of hybrid treatment options, serving thousands of patients, has added three new members to its board of directors, including a new board observer, and announced the formation of an Advisory Board.
  • The Forge care model utilizes multidisciplinary clinical teams, data analytics, and streamlined care delivery to provide individualized, whole-person care that concurrently addresses mental health and substance use issues while driving improved health outcomes.
