About this Session:
The healthcare industry is grappling with how to address the dire mental health and substance use crisis. Funding has poured into behavioral health technology startups and innovations these last few years, but is it sustainable? Join us for a dedicated behavioral health program at HLTH with payors, providers, pharma, startups and investors to discuss how to scale behavioral health solutions.
