Today’s a big day at Headway. After years of work and research, we’re proud to announce the nationwide launch of our integrated care solution to bridge the long-standing gap between primary care and mental health services. This is personal for me. I’ve seen firsthand how our fragmented healthcare system fails people in their moments of vulnerability. When someone builds up the courage to tell their doctor they're struggling with depression or anxiety, that disclosure should lead to help, not weeks of unanswered calls, insurance rejections, or dead ends. The numbers tell the story. 66% of primary care physicians can't secure mental health care for their patients. But with our integrated care solution, we're seeing patients connect with mental health providers in under 5 days instead of the typical 43+ day wait. I'm incredibly grateful to our team, our partners, and especially the 50,000 providers on Headway’s platform who make this possible. Together, we're building a more accessible, effective and integrated mental healthcare system. Read more about how we’re doing it here:
